The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to encourage the family of Four Mile Church to eat God's word on a more regular basis; to be nourished and fortified. Mile markers help you to know how far you have come and how much further you have to go. God's word is like a mile marker. My prayer is that this simple blogg helps you to partake in God's word and prayer on a more regular basis.



Please share your insights and revelations if you think they may encourage another brother or sister in Christ.

Presence

Deuteronomy 31:8

Joshua 1:5-6

Hebrews 13:5

Isaiah 41:13

"I will never leave you nor forsake you." We have heard these words, and we have also felt abandoned, by people and sometimes by God. Sometimes we have been the one to abandon. In either case, the pain we have felt and carry because of our experiences is very real and hard to carry.

This Week

Read each of these portions every day and then pick the one that resonates with you the best and memorize it.

Journal

Get a note book or piece of paper and write out the experiences when you have felt abandoned. Then write your memory verse at the end.

Prayer

Lord God, your words are true. You will never leave us nor forsake us. Forgive us when we have forsaken you. Forgive us for turning away. Your grace always welcomes us back with open arms. Heal our pain, Lord. Help us to forgive those who have abandoned us. Help us to repent for the times we have abandoned others. Thank you for the presence of the Holy Spirit. Help us to live this day in the community of God.
