There is certainty in relationship.
1 John 1:3 – That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
In 2020, it sure seems that America is in the midst of a crisis. Many of the nation’s social, financial, and health systems appear on the brink of collapse. People are pointing fingers this way and that and looking in anguish for someone to blame. Any sense of certainty has been overwhelmed or shaken. Everyone wants a way out of the current times of trouble. In the middle of these circumstances, hope for many Americans is more than just elusive—it has evaporated into thin air.
God has a desire for people to come to Him. He wants peace and joy for you… He wants the very best! His peace includes your safety, welfare, and happiness. But He wants you to desire Him! He wants you to seek him. He remains in control; He has what you need. Hope is found in the relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. That relationship will let your heart and mind rise above your circumstances to witness the plans He has for you.
Pray With Us

And you are a good Father whose intent it is to bless us, to give us encouragement, and to cause us to rest in hope. Thank You for Your Son Jesus, whose birth we are about to celebrate. Thank You that He was real, that He walked among people, that they were able to enjoy His presence, to eat with Him, and to learn from Him. Thank You that by faith we can also know Him in a very personal way. Thank You for the hope that He brought to the world. We love You, Father, Amen.
