Encouragement and prayers

Recently, a very good friend confided in me about some really troubling things that have happened in this person's life.

And then today, another very good friend shared a devastating bit of news.

To the people I'm talking about: you are two of the most amazing people that I have ever known. And you have not only been a rich blessing in my own life, but to many others: no doubt many more than you'll ever know.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

-- Jeremiah 29:11

God will see you through this. You will overcome these tribulations. In the meantime, know that you are lifted up in our prayers and that we are here for you.
