My project today at the office was compiling and writing a bulletin of prayer to be distributed to those who support the work our mission in the world. This is something I do every month. Sometimes it is enjoyable, as I read about all the different ministries that go on it the world, some of them involving people I consider members of my family.
But other times it is hard -- as it was today -- as I read of people's struggles in dark places of the world, where they are in danger and despair.
My little book is coming in handy today, for I read another quote that helped me see things aright:
"The upward look gives no ground to the attempted encroachment of despair... a quick lifting of the heart to God in a moment of real actual faith in Him will completely alter any situation and turn the darkness of midnight into glorious sunrise." (Mrs. Charles E. Cowman)
And that's an encouraging thought! ;-)
