By Vivian Bricker “‘For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'” – Jeremiah 29:11 Due to living in a fallen world, we are always coming across problems. Problems with work, our relationships, and our health can leave us feeling worn out. It never feels as though we can get a break. Instead of being relieved once one problem is resolved, a hundred new problems replace it. Whenever we are feeling like this, we need to turn to the Lord and know that He has a beautiful plan for our lives. There have been many times in my life where I don't feel like there is a purpose to the pain I am experiencing—there is only suffering. We are often taught that pain makes us stronger, when sometimes it can actually make us weaker. Every pain, every tear, and every heartache does not lead us to something greater. Instead, it can lead us to meet the end of the road. Plans we previously had for our lives seem to be non-existent and we don't even know how we are going to make it to the end of the month. When these issues arise, we can find lasting hope and purpose in God. He has great plans for our life. Through the pain, we can see His will more clearly and we take joy in knowing that our suffering is never forgotten by Him. Recently, I had an issue in my life that God worked through. I thought I was going to have to make a major life change; however, God kept me where I was. He placed me on level ground and told me I was right where He wanted me to be. From that day, I felt the assurance of the Lord. His plans for me would never be sabotaged by anything or anyone, including myself or this season of suffering. His goodness and his love will ensure all of the plans He has for our lives will be accomplished. Some of them might not be completed in the ways we once thought; however, we can trust in His plans. We might be lacking direction or guidance, but God never does. He will direct and guide each of our steps. In Jeremiah 29:11, the Lord tells us He already knows the plans He has for us and that these plans will prosper us. They will not harm us in any way. Rather, these plans will give us hope and a future. Whenever we are unsure about the future, we need to rely on God's plans for our lives. Your present season of suffering will not endure forever because the Lord has beautiful plans for your future. This future will not harm you nor will it cause you problems. It will only give you hope and surround you with the Lord's goodness. Choose to live out this truth today by walking confidently in Jesus' promise. The plans God has for our lives is far greater than anything we could ever imagine. If you are presently going through a season of suffering, rest in the truth that you will be brought out into a season of joy. Similar to how the physical seasons change, this season of life will change too. The suffering and pain you are experiencing now will not endure forever. Intersecting Faith & Life: This season might last for a while, but you can continue to trust God. No matter what season of life we find ourselves in, we can know with confidence that God is working all things out for our good (Romans 8:28). It is not a pleasant season right now; however, God's plans for your life are still being fulfilled. There is nothing we can do to mess up God's plans for our lives nor is there any season of life that can separate us from His plans. God's plans are already being carried out through our lives. As you are presently in this tough season of life, lean on God. Find support in Him and trust Him with your life. The plans He has for you will prevail and they will be glorious. “Dear Jesus, I am going through a tough season right now. There only seems to be suffering at every corner. Please Lord, help me to have hope for the plans You have for my life. Bring my heart and mind to meditate on Your plans for my life rather than the tragedies I am currently going through. I know nothing can usurp Your plans for my life. I praise You, Amen.” During this present season of suffering, what has the Lord been teaching you? God has many plans for your life. Does this bring you a sense of comfort? Why or why not? How does knowing that God has plans for your life change your outlook during this present season of life?

Not everyone has a relationship with their mom. For some people in the LGBTQ+ Community, coming out can lead to a strained relationship with family. So when Mother's Day rolls around, this can be a reminder of the relationship they have lost.

“Children were made for sun and laughter, for sunshine, not for pain. When a child dies, part of the parent is buried.” The lady we meet in this Sunday's reading was about to bury a part of herself. She had lost her only son, and what's more she was a widow. Join us this Sunday to discover the compassion of Jesus towards this woman and to find hope.
In this episode, I want to share my 4 S's from the lament prayer found in Psalm 31:1-5 (the actual psalm and prayer continues beyond but that will be our focus for this episode). In it, the author, most often tradionaly considered to be David, shares a bit about his struggle but also his genuine faith in God. Now, know that I believe in taking action to help ourselves. I believe in positive action, learning, striving, proceedures, and goals to heal and create great lives. But, I would be remiss as a follower of Jesus, if I didn't also believe that God has a role in our lives, our healing, and our future. So, let's take a quick peek at the first of the prayer and see how it could encourage us.

Hi friend! Today, we are talking about spiritual warfare. Have you felt like you are under some sort of attack lately? Do you get discouraged when you don't hear from God right away and wonder if He is even listening to your prayers? Spiritual warfare is very real and very present in our lives. It is important that we can recognize the signs and know how to fight when we are faced with spiritual warfare. Even when we don't SEE God working on our behalf, HE IS! I pray this passage in Daniel 10 helps to bring you some comfort today if you are in the middle of a spiritual battle of your own.

Lord I Will Have Hope In Your Love And Compassion
When we think about living in a tumultuous time, when things seem to be coming apart at the seams, nationally or personally, take heart in the comfort that God has carried His people through all sorts of challenges and terrible things. That's the message we can glean from Isaiah 40, a special parallel reading for the Torah reading ואתחנן Va'etchanan (“and I pleaded,” Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11) about mourning what has been lost and hoping in what lies ahead. No matter what we are facing personally or how bad we think the situation of the country or world, we must remember that there are many who have gone before us who have faced and endures far worse than this. For those who believed in God, they made it through by depending on God, regardless of whether they would make it through or succumb. They learned — and we must too — that there is something worse than death. Many in the United States and elsewhere have forgotten that there are things worse than death. They have willingly given up basic freedoms — of speech, worship and assembly — for the false hope that they might extend their lives on Earth by doing so.
Comfort is not found in a bottle or bedroom. True comfort can only be found in having a personal relationship with God.

As 2022 dawns, we have a choice about how we approach the uncertainty ahead: with anticipation or anxiety, enthusiasm or fear, optimism or worry? We are often encouraged to look on the bright side, and to see the glass as half full. But what is the source of our hope? Our confidence in better days ahead? There is one answer: God. Jesus reminds us: “For I know well the plans I have for you…plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.” What a comfort it is to have this faith, belief, and conviction that God will walk with us this year. But this requires us to trust in him to walk in his company always. With God at your side, you will have your best year yet.

John 14:7-14 | Pastor Daniel Lee | Sun, Aug 8, 2021
As Christians, we need God's gracious work to restore us in living our potential to the fullest. The repetition of small crises normally leads to a major emotional breakdown. When discouragement isn't dealt with it, manifests as fatigue. Your body is the instrument that informs you about your emotional state.
By Paul Moody in Clearwater Valley, ID, Kennewick, WA, Kettle Falls, WA, Spokane, WA - July 24, 2021 - We worship a Creator God of incontestable power and majesty, whose goal it is to accomplish in us what He has purposed from before time began. He is all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful. He has directed those attributes of His divine nature towards the success of our calling. As we face anxious care in this life, take comfort in the majesty of God. Trust in Him to work out all things for good in the end.

Take Comfort - There are Many More of Us than Them by Barak Lurie
During our most difficult days, it can feel as if we’re fighting through life all by ourselves. But we can take comfort in knowing that God never leaves our side.…
Matthew 14:22-33 TE Andy Phillips
"Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended." (Isaiah 40) A Reformed Pastor of old once said, "The Problems of this Life Call for a Solution, and the Dark Valley of Death Calls for a Way Out." That's Where the Heidelberg Catechism Begins - with the Solution and the Way Out. Christ Comforts His People with Enduring Words of Comfort, Saying: 1. "Take Comfort, For You Are Mine" 2. "Take Comfort, For Your Warfare Is Ended" 3. "Take Comfort, For I Am a Watchful Shepherd" 4. "Take Comfort, For I Will Give You Strength"
