Prayer: it was good enough for the Apostles! For the Rosebud, Day 38

If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery. Psalm 119:92

We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety. II Corinthians 1:8-11

We bless you, Heavenly Father, and pray that you will deliver the people of the Rosebud Reservation from suicide. We rely on you for life where we see the power of death close at hand. We pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.
