So many needs weighed on my heart this morning as I thought of so many who are troubled,
so many suffering in war torn countries around the world,
so many suffering close to home due to sickness, injuries in accidents
and hardships due to broken relationships, hardships caused by inflation
the fragility of the so-called freedom and peace in countries whose leaders
have turned away from God, and the list goes on...
But it is not a hopeless case.
Quite the opposite.
We pray to One who is able to do
'exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us.
Unto Him be glory in the church by Jesus throughout all ages,
world without end,
amen.
Above All-Michael W. Smith
The Lord appoints our place
His love anoints our cares
And by the riches of His grace
God’s mercy hears our prayers
His measure of reply
Exceeds abundantly
The want and wish of you and I
On meek and bended knee
Though trial rends faith's glove
May faith, faith’s test transcend
Grounded and rooted in the love
Thought cannot comprehend
With lowliness of heart
(His Spirit’s dwelling place)
May we endeavor to impart
The riches of God’s grace
…so that we may be filled
With the fulness of He
Who helps us, through what He has willed
To proclaim His glory

“For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
forever.
Amen”
(KJV—Matt. 6:9-13)
