Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,
                faithful in prayer.
            ( Romans 12:12 *NIV )

 
Dear Tracy,
     We have hope because of our faith in our Savior Jesus
 Christ,
And hope does not disappoint us,
 because God has poured out his love into
 our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has
 given us.                          ( Romans 5:5 )

     
Now when we are afflicted, we have God's promise that;
 
The righteous man is rescued from trouble,
 and it comes on the wicked instead.
 ( Proverbs 11:8 )  
For it is also written; "Never will
 I leave you; never will I forsake you."
                                       ( Hebrews 13:5 )

     
Therefore, Do not be anxious about anything,
 but in everything, by prayer and petition, with
 thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
 ( Philippians 4:6 )   
After all, it is written; The prayer
 of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
  ( James 5:16 )

     
So Tracy, never let disappointments cause you to
 lose hope, for God is always with you.  Therefore my
 friend,
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it
 again: Rejoice!  Amen!   ( Philippians 4:4 )

 
All My Love & Prayers,
        Pastor Allen
