*Our Discipleship Thought, Prayer and Scripture Memory Verse for the Week.* First our Scripture Memory Verse. Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Second our Discipleship Thought. Disciples, Christian Disciples are not exempt from difficulties [minor or major or whatever other form]; but Christian disciples are assured of God's unfailing and never ceasing companionship in the midst of the difficulties. While we live, Disciples are not exempt from trouble; but we are promised deliverance through trouble. Our deliverer, in the midst, and through trouble is God Himself revealed to us in Jesus Christ our Lord and when we cannot understand difficulty, or pain or trouble, or whatever irksome irritation or pain or uncertainty, we will choose to trust a Loving and Caring God who will carry us on His shoulders and bring us through with resurrection triumph. "Nothing," no nothing, "will separate us from the Love of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lord." Third our Discipleship Prayer. Father, in spite of what life brings into my pathway and in spite of what others tell me; I know you are a Good and Loving God and for that I thank you. Today and every day I trust you because you are trustworthy. You have never ever disappointed us and you never ever will disappoint us. While I journey through this life, help me to trust you, especially when life seems to be tough, difficult, painful, wired, uncertain, confusing and seemingly against me. And, as I trust you, bring me through and out of the shadows of life and into the sunshine of your love and your grace that I may live and be a witness to your overwhelming love, grace, goodness and resurrection. I pray this in the strong name of Jesus Christ, Amen & Amen. Enjoy trusting God Today in all the minor and in all the major things of life! God Bless all of us at CTK parish. Fr. Desmond+.

Our Discipleship Thought, Prayer and Scripture Memory Verse for the Week.

First our Scripture Memory Verse.
