I was speaking with a friend a few days ago and they explained that just at the moment they felt that they were walking around in a thick fog. At other times in life they had known a clearer sense of purpose, they knew the direction they were traveling in. They knew where they were…

I have been praying for the people of this area for over 20 years now. I am always reassured, however, that God desires to bless his people far more than we can ever imagine. Please would you pray with me, for the people who live in and around the Dales. That God would bless, heal, restore and build up the people of this area. And that we might be known as people who bring God’s blessing and light to the communities in which we live.

The truth is that everyone has felt overwhelmed at some time. We have limited resources, more skills and capacities in some areas, and fewer in others. Life is complex, as are people and the many situations we face. But there is one who knows this better, who has been there himself and yet understands how every creature that has ever lived was formed, and will be there with us if we ask him to be. So if this is you, and if it is now, and if you’d like to, shall we pray together?
