Let's fervently pray for both Duniog and Gwuelianmond. God is close to them in their pain. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Ps 147:3). Trust His love and comfort. "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you" (Ps 55:22). In Jesus' name!

Hope is the life in our veins, the breath in our lungs and the courage for tomorrow.
Our hope is not in our circumstances.
Our hope is not in what we see or even feel.
Our hope is in Jesus, who is doing a deep eternal work in us. Far beyond what eyes can grasp, deep underground roots are growing. When all looks dead and frozen, sap is still running beneath gray bark, bringing us the promise of new growth. There is life. And we must trust when all feels bare.
Our offering of trust is an offering that is precious in the sight of God.
Hope does not put us to shame.
Hope is the life in our veins,
the breath in our lungs and
the courage for tomorrow.
Hope is knowing God is here.
