Don't Be Troubled
Don’t let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, and trust also in me.
John 14:1 (NLT)
Dear friend,
Is your heart troubled?
Is it difficult for you to trust anything anymore?
These are the questions I was most deeply considering as I was thinking about you while
preparing this edition of PJ’s Place, Sunday worship and a Wednesday morning podcast
(where I share a true, and perhaps somewhat humorous story of
me working to become a salesman many decades ago).
The videos above and below are inspiring, as will it be to gather with you tomorrow
morning for a Volunteer Spring Cleaning at our church, as will it be for me to offer
a few words of encouragement at the Nichols Baccalaureate happening later
this afternoon, and through all the events of this upcoming week.
So, thanks for reading these words, and engaging in so many other ways with our church.
I pray that choice eases your troubled heart as we gather
in so many ways, as trusted friends and neighbors.
For now, blessings and peace,
Pastor John

Jesus,
at the sound of your name,
we proclaim
You are Word,
You are light,
You are bread,
You are the vine,
You are judge,
You are king,
The lamb,
The rock,
The living water,
Our friend,
The Lord,
The sun,
The servant,
The way,
The truth,
The life.
To you, Jesus, we pray.
We pray for
Those seeking healing
Those seeking a welcome
Those fighting temptations
Those seeking you, seeking us.
We pray for all others.
We pray for ourselves.
We pray for our hearts not to be troubled.
We pray to grow in our trust of you.
We pray, in your name.
Amen
