Asia Bibi
You are fighting a good fight. May you keep the faith and finish the race.
Keep looking to Jesus, our only hope of heaven.
Your present trials proclaim your faith.
May your light reveal the truth to those around you.
May those who persecute you see Jesus in your life.
I pray your witness will lead many to Jesus.
We love you and your family. We are praying for you, your family, and your guards.
I pray you will feel the presence of Christ with you today.
Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

In Search Of Silence
In Search Of Silence
From: Our Daily Bread
Written by: Julie Ackerman Link
Scripture Reading: Mark 1:35-45
"My next record should be 45 minutes of silence," said singer, Meg Hutchinson, "beacause that's what we're missing most in society." Silence is indeed hard to find. Cities are notoriously noisy due to the high concentration of traffic and people. There seems to be no escape from loud music, loud machines, and loud voices. But the kind of noise that endangers our spiritual well-being is not the noise we can't escape but the noise we invite into our lives. Some of us use noise as a way of shutting out loneliness: voices of TV and radio personalities give us the illusion of companionship. Some of us use it as a way of shutting out our own thoughts: other voices and opinions keep us from having to think for ourselves. Some of us use noise as a way of shutting out the voice if God: constant chatter, even when we're talking about God, keeps us from hearing what God has to say. But Jesus, even during His busiest times, made a point of seeking out places of solitude where He could carry on a conversation with God (Mark 1:35). Even when we can't find a place that is perfectly quiet, we need to find a place to quiet our souls (Ps. 131:2), a place where God has our full attention.
