Hi all,
I appreciate your prayers, calls, and emails as you prayed for me yesterday in service and later. It seems to have been just a 24 hour virus - I'm feeling better today, and the fever is gone, for which I thank God! Charlotte did a great job (as always!) of taking good care of me, and I should be back at 100% in no time.
A few weeks ago, I challenged each Southview member to write down one person that you know is living far from God and to pray for them at least once a day, every day, for the 40 days leading up to Easter. We're well into that now, and I wanted to encourage you as you continue in this challenge. If you've forgotten or lost track, start again today! Every prayer of a believer is heard by God - and I believe especially those concerning one of His children who are living apart from Him.
Keep your focus - don't let the worries and challenges of this world distract you from the main thing in your life as a Christ-follower - your relationship with God.
Know that I am praying for you as you do this challenge - and I'm doing it alongside you as well. Together I believe we can reach out to those who are living far from God with His message of hope, and that always begins on our knees in prayer to our Father.
Praying with you,
--Pastor William
