A Letter from Os Hillman:
Dear Friend in Christ – I wanted to let you know that the season you are in will pass and God will make something good of your experience. The keys to getting through your adversity are:
- Take one day at a time and ask God for grace for that day only
- Don’t project outcomes to the future. In other words, don’t think about all the ramifications of what “may” happen resulting from your circumstances
- Meditate on the Word of God and be obedient to the small things He shows you.
Prayer:
“Lord, I pray for that you will give the grace needed for this hour. That you will give peace in the midst of the storm and turn the Valley of Anchor (trouble), into a door of hope in this life (Hosea 2:15). Use this child of yours for your Kingdom purposes and demonstrate your faithfulness in meeting needs at this time. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
In Christ,
Os Hillman and the staff at Marketplace Leaders
