Dear HLPC family,
One of my favorite verses to encourage my own prayer life is Psalm 62:8, “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us” (ESV). We are exhorted to put our trust and confidence in the Lord and in that reality pour out our hearts–our needs and our burdens–to Him. We will find God to be a refuge, a shelter for us. In particular, He can be a shelter against worry as we pray! (See Philippians 4:6-7).
Tonight, we will gather in the HLPC Fellowship Hall at 6:30 pm to put the message of Psalm 62:8 into practice. The burdens of our hearts are many. Your personal needs, our church family needs, and the needs of our world seem overwhelming. God calls us to seek Him and cry out to Him. We have a chance to watch Him work–and perhaps in ways we haven’t even considered.
I hope you’ll come tonight as we cry out to God together and give some attention to praying for Vacation Bible School which begins next Monday, June 7th. As always, no one will be required to pray out loud but will be encouraged to pray along with those that do.
Your Pastor,
Paul
