Overwhelmed - Grace UMC

Today we celebrate the journey of our graduating high school seniors. What advice should we share with them as they begin the next step of their lives? Life is tough, God is good and Jesus lives! May the God of faith, hope and love richly bless them in all they do.

We can all see it. Sometimes it's unavoidable. But, there are moments when we can avoid the big fall. A short pause to smell the roses or listen to God can keep us from significant suffering and pain. May the Spirit of God be your daily guide as you seek faithfulness.

Do you carry stress, anxiety and worry with you? Is it a daily struggle to make it? In Jesus Christ, we find hope and faith. To make it through life, we need to allow others to be in relationships with us. We invite you to open your lives to the love of the church this day. With God, we are never alone and need not worry.

Many of us struggle with doubts. Even Thomas the disciple struggled to believe in the Resurrection of Jesus. To doubt is to believe. Open your hearts today and listen to the word of God.
