And Greatly to be Praised

I'm just gonna give you guys some encouragement. recently I've been feeling the wear and tear of the school year. exhaustion has come to not be too unusual. and before Bible Conferenc ewe begin to feel the pressure as teachers try to get every last grade in before the week of services. but this is where the title of this post fits in. we have an Everlasting God to look to. a God that will give us strength that we need to finish the course (no pun intended) and whilst studying for point 1 (the A) for my "sermon" (or as I think it should be better termed "challenge") in the preaching contest, I looked at many verses that dealt with God's greatness (many of the Psalms, I personally used Psalm 145, hence the title) and just when I was despairing because I felt so tired, and I had all these projects due, it was if God was saying "hey, look over here, I'm great, so don't worry about it(Philippians 4:6) and that is part if not the whole reason why I chose what I chose for the preaching contest. because without prayer we-- no, the whole world would be sunk. the mere fact that we have the ability to pray is one of the greatest gifts from God because prayer is a direct communication line to God, operators are standing by average hold time. . . -10000 years. and that bad joke is also something I have been thinking of. God knows our problems, He has known them since before time. and its so awesome to think that all we have to do is pray to God and He already knows the best thing to do, whether we think it is the best or not. so I hope this is an encouragement to you, as it has been to me

Tnank you for the encouragement. God is so much more than our little problems but He still cares for every one. You hang in there and don't be afraid to ask for help. You are loved by many.
