Knowing God

Dear Bloggers,
The Stephen Ministry program is alive and well at Rockport. A Stephen Minister is a caring Christian friend who walks beside a hurting person. A Stephen Minister is a lay person who has received 50 hours of training in how to provide distinctively Christian care. We have 18 such people in our church. If you are in need of someone to talk to, call the church office and ask to speak to me about possibly receiving a Stephen Minister.
Sometimes the troubles and trials around us can seem overwhelming from our viewpoint, but as we grow closer to God and focus more on God's Kingdom, we begin to see that God is much larger than any of the problems we face, and we begin to understand that God is indeed able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Here is a prayer out of my daily Upper Room: Dear Lord, help us to see our world the way you see it. When troubles arise, help us to remember that you are greater than anything that may happen to us. Amen Have a wonderful week, Diana
