1/3 A DESERT LAND. Deuteronomy 32:10
Believe that the deepest afflictions and always neighbours to the highest joys. The greatest possible privileges lie close to the darkest trials. The more bitter your sorrow, the louder your song at the end.

[Dumfries Northwest Church @dumfriesnw]

Hymn - Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and corner-stone, chosen of the Lord and precious, binding all the Church in one. Holy Zion’s help for ever, and her confidence alone.

1/3 HE PRUNES. John 15:2

You ought to rejoice that there are trials, for in them you will be weaned from earth and made ready for heaven. You will be delivered from clinging to the present. You will be made to long, and to wish for the evidence of things not seen (Heb. 11:1)...

1/2 WHOEVER CALLS. Acts 2:21

I speak to some whom I know are under a severe trial. You seem to have given up, but I beg you to call on the name of the Lord. You cannot perish praying, you would be a new wonder in the universe. A praying soul in hell is an utter impossibility.

1/3 FEAR NOT. Isaiah 40:10
In trouble, the Lord will always be near you. If you have a Gethsemane, if you have to drink the bitter cup, the Lord will be with you. His presence will encourage you, and you will be able to say, “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

1/3 LAID ASIDE FOR A TIME. Exodus 3.1

When you are retired or inactive, prepare for the time when God will again use you. If you are put on the shelf, do not rust; pray and the Master will polish you, so that when he uses you again you will be fully ready for work.

[Dumfries Northwest Church @dumfriesnw]

2/3 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!
