Friends in Christ Weekly Message
September 12, 2015

I love you, LORD!
     You answered my prayers.
     You paid attention to me,
and so I will pray to you as long as I live.
Death attacked from all sides,
and I was captured by its painful chains.
But when I was really hurting,
I prayed and said, "LORD, please don't let me die!"

You are kind, LORD,
     so good and merciful.
You protect ordinary people,
and when I was helpless, you saved me
and treated me so kindly
that I don't need to worry anymore.

You, LORD, have saved
     my life from death,
     my eyes from tears,
     my feet from stumbling.
Now I will walk at your side
     in this land of the living.
Psalm 116:1-9 (CEV*)

Do we reflect on what the Lord has done for us? Do we thank God for the mercy we have been shown? Do we share our stories of God's goodness with others?

Bill Samuel
