Not a cloud in sight. He prayed again. Nothing. Six times he prayed. Six times there was no response. (Time to implement plan B.) This is how it went: if prayer doesn’t work after six times, try seven. Israel got wet.

For Our Prayers-July 26, 2009 Peace is something that most desire but don’t seem to always find. Why is such a small word “peace” so hard to obtain by many in the world? When things seem to be going in all different directions and we feel all is lost, we may ask where is my peace to be found? Peace is sometimes found in the oddest places. In my life I have been in a few hurricanes. A hurricane is a storm with cyclonic winds that exceed 74 MPH. Rain, thunder, and lighting usually accompanies the winds. Hurricanes can be fierce storms with relentless pounding winds that continue hour after hour. But a very fascinating thing about a hurricane is it’s “eye”; a place of perfect calm in the eye, only peace is to be found. It is interesting to think that smack dab in the middle of this horrific storm you can find peace. Brethren, when we feel the storms of life are just crashing down upon us there is a place for peace to be found. If we would have Jesus to be our center our “eye” we would find that peace, that perfect calm. “For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace” (Ephesians 2:14-15). True peace can only be found in Christ. When things get rough seek Christ, for He is our peace. Ernie Thankful: We were happy to see Linda Skutnik back in services last week following her surgery and are thankful for her recovery.

He is at Duke University Hospital while doctors run tests to identify the problem. Update: Lee Ann Thompson is at home, resting after her surgical procedure on Friday. The Thompsons thank everyone for their concern and prayers. Continued Prayers: Lee Ann Thompson (surgery) Colleen Wertz’ mother Kay Bradley (Roger Merritt’s sister) Bereaved: We extend our love and care to Tom White’s family on the passing of Fred Cooley and Holly Grievers White, Continued Prayers: Those who are protecting our country, serving in harm’s way all over the world The leaders of our nation, and all nations around the world, that peace may prevail Special Request: There may be those who are in need of prayer but do not wish to share their difficulties in a public way. Please remember these nameless ones.
