If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old thing has passed away, and the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17). It’s the end of another year, but this year has been far from normal. I reflect on this, and even though it has been a challenging year, I think of…
The Bible urges us to prayer and to bring our concerns to God (Philippians 4:6). It says that we should give thanks. It says to praise Him for He is great and worthy (Psalm 100:4-5). It says that we are to rejoice in the Lord (Philippians 4:4). He told us to forgive just as…
