O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down. And art intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue. Behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all. Thou has enclosed me behind and before. And laid thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high I cannot attain to it. Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from thy presence? If I ascend to heaven Thou art there; if I make my bed Sheol, behold, Thou art there. -Psalm 139:1-8
This is scripture from which one of my favorite songs in chorus was written - the scripture tells us that our God is with us wherever we are. He knows what we are going to say before we say a word! That is so reassuring to me, and I hope it is to you as well.
This past year has been hard on all of us. Our usual routines have been disrupted and we have been isolated from our friends and family - from normal life. Getting back into activities, may be harder than we anticipated. Even joining friends for a meal or participating in a book club might present challenges.
If you are struggling with sadness, dealing with difficult circumstances, having a hard time coping with a medical problem, or need someone to talk to, consider asking for a Stephen Minister to come along side you to assist you with whatever difficulty you have. The Stephen Minister will consult with you confidentially and continue to visit with you until your concern is resolved. There is no charge for Stephen Ministry.
