Lucky, I Don’t Think So                                                

Have you ever felt like you were the luckiest girl alive? I have had many of those mountain-top moments throughout my life: the moment that sweet boy asked me to the dance; the day we got married; the days I became a mother and then a grandmother, those days when the medical test results came back negative, and finally, the day I retired. All along however, I knew it wasn’t luck, it was God working in my life!

Each day, through His word and gracious care, He fills my life with His blessings because I am His chosen child. He provides what is best for me, sometimes in joy, sometimes through challenges, so that I learn to trust His goodness in all things. Before He created the heavens and the earth, He had my life planned out. He chose me!

Every source of my joy comes from knowing my faithful God keeps His promises. I know, when I feel blessed, God is in control and that He works everything for His glory. Luck has got nothing to do with it. I praise Him and shout His name!

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:11-12

2025 Prayer Service

Blessed are They …

The 2025 Prayer Service is based on the Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5:1–12.

The Beatitudes are some of the most beloved words of Jesus. In them, Jesus highlights people in various situations of life, situations that are not always easy to endure — or even envision — as a child of God. Yet, our Lord calls the people in each condition “blessed” and assures each of them of their place in the kingdom of heaven. As you hear the precious Beatitudes from our Lord and pray for people in the various stages of life, may you indeed be blessed and encouraged in your life of faith. May your mind be drawn to the work of Christ, His life, and His death and resurrection which bless you each day until He brings you home to the kingdom of heaven forever.
