September Thoughts

My dear friends and fellow workers in Christ:

We live such busy and hectic lives. There are times when the problems of the

world and our families can be overwhelming. We go from pillar to post trying to

work things out.. Problems with family, sickness, and money all pull at us; how do we

Handle them?

Sometimes we talk to family members or friends to ask for assistance or direction.

Sometimes we try to work on these problems by ourselves. Depending only on

oneself can only get us in deeper, increasing our anxiety.

What we should do is take our problems to God. He is always there to listen to our

needs. Ask God for guidance and direction, and He will show us the way. When our

problems are too heavy to carry, give them to God; He is there to help.

We should also remember that we are not alone; all of us have problems of one

type or another. The actions of the past week show us that we and society have

problems. We feel uncertain and, to some extent, helpless, and again come to God for

help. One way to bring our problems to God is to come to His Church on Sundays,

pray, and lay our problems on the Altar. Give them to God for Him to handle;

Stop carrying them around with you.

You are no different than the rest of us in Church; we are all looking for help.

Come to Church and work with God through PRAYER to solve your day-to-day

needs. God is there to help, PRAY.

God bless you all,

The Rev. Glenn Duffy
