"But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:32-33 NIV84)
Every week I have the privileged of praying for the people of Life Bridge here in Valparaiso, IN. Sometimes people share requests with me face to face, through email, text, or other electronic media. Usually, I stop right then and begin to pray for them. Most of the requests, however, come in through "Connect Cards" that we have available to everyone during the church services. It's a chance to connect with one another and with God. I begin praying for those requests each Sunday afternoon.
