And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9, ESV
God is omnipotent and omniscient, so we can trust that He knows what He is doing in and through us to change our world. We can work hard knowing He is faithful and capable of redeeming us and this world.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7, NASB1995
Prayer changes us to think about God and His ways, and as we understand more of these, we find the peace of faith and His faithfulness.
In every situation take the shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Ephesians 6:16, HCSB
Since Christ is risen and ascended, we can know that our faith in His faithfulness can help us against attacks from evil. He has overcome!

Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.
Hebrews 4:16, HCSB
We worship Christ for saving us, and now, because of His sacrifice and resurrection, may we tell others this truth and draw near to God’s throne together.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10, NASB1995
We seek God to do what He has for us to do, not necessarily what we want to do, and then we see the amazing things and ways He can work through us.
We are looking for deacons all the time. I work with our deacons specifically to help make their work cohesive (not micromanage. I am way too engaged in several areas to do that!) More help is always needed and wanted. Having godly men and their wives is always great, and helping them grow is even better.
I joked around with one of our deacons about how he could grow as a teacher, and he said, “That’s definitely not my calling!” Today, he has taken on a teaching role at work and is about to help launch our new Young Adults ministry as our main teacher! And he’s the one who stepped up!
Pray for specific servants for the church. God raises them up in amazing ways.

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
Romans 5:1, NLT
Christ has brought us back to God by faith in His work, and through us we restore others and encourage each other towards deeper faith in Him.
Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness — without it no one will see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14, CSB
How can we not try to live at peace with others when God has brought peace between Himself and us through Christ? Rely on His peace and extend it to others through forgiveness and grace.
I personally have been trying to be more intentional in all areas of life, and I think … nay, KNOW we can all be more intentional when praising our God.
