"Don’t worry about anything;
instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need,
and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus."

— #Philippians 4:6-7 (#NLT)

seek justice,

"I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth."

it is impossible to please him,
for whoever would draw near to God
must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those
who seek him."

— #Hebrews 11:6 (#ESV)

As an organization, we pause to pray for those that are rebuilding from #HurricaneHelene's devastating impact. Many are still without power, without fresh food and water, and wondering what their next step will be. We pray for God’s strength, wisdom, mercy, and peace as they face uncertainty.

"God is our refuge God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah"

— #Psalm 46:1-3

[Bethany @Bethany]

This passage ends with a beautiful word: #Selah. The exact meaning of this term is unknown, but most scholars believe it means to pause in silence. It is used in #Psalms to remind us to slow down and let the reality of God settle into the depths of our soul.

[Bethany @Bethany]

"And pray in the Spirit
on all occasions
with all kinds of prayers and requests.

be alert

for all the Lord’s people."
