Thank you for clicking on our Thoughts and Prayers page. We’re very glad you stopped by.
With so many things competing for our attention on any given day, anything that reminds me of the things of God is welcome. He says that when we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. This can be a good time to pray and thank Him for His faithfulness, goodness and His willingness to help in the time of need. I do not claim to fully understand when He says “pray always” but I always took it as, pray and commune with God a lot.
I have caught my children over the years, red handed, doing something good for someone else by their own free will. At those moments, it is hard to describe how deeply this blessed my soul. I believe it blesses God to see us reach out to Him on behalf of others, by our own free will. He helps us and we help each other.
Families and loved ones of Line Of Duty Death (LODD) Police officers are experiencing a great deal of pain, even as I am typing this. At Donation Trackers and Citizens For Cops, we believe that God can and will help as we humbly ask for His assistance. Seeing average Americans come along side these families in prayer may encourage them. I know it encourages me, and I hope you too. Thanks again for your heart felt prayers for those who gave so much and for their families that could use our help. God bless you.
