Prayer Pointers – 7 October 2021
“I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:1-2, ESV
Indeed, Lord, you are our rock and fortress, our refuge and deliverer. Who can shield us from our fear and anxiety, but you Lord whose presence is in us, who brings us peace and cast out all our fears!
The Lord is our Strength and Shelter
Psalm 59:16 “But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.”
This psalmist sings of his reliance on God and his strength. As fallible humans, we may crumble in the face of times of trouble. When this happens, remember to turn to our Lord God for strength and shelter.
His strength is immeasurable, his love everlasting. He will be our refuge and will give us the strength we need to push through times of weakness.

1. How has life been for you since your graduation from EAST?
God has continued to lead, guide and bless me and my family in different ways. Since graduating from EAST, I have also graduated into parenting teenagers which has been wonderful (contrary to popular belief), as I get to talk and discuss a lot more common things of interest with my teenagers. It’s also very heartfelt and satisfying when they share with me their thoughts and feelings about issues they are grappling. I try to help them see how God is at work in their lives. After graduation, I still did not know where I was to serve, but God led me patiently and clearly.
Prayer Pointers – 30 September 2021
“No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:12, ESV
Although we have never seen God, we experience His abiding presence, and His love is made visible as we show love to others. We are thus empowered to bless and love one another, delighting in Him, and glorifying His name!
