BE
ENCOURAGED
MAY 2020
Greetings my Blessed Sisters!
The last two months have tru-
ly be unexpected, unimaginable, unprecedented,
and for some discouraging. Yet, one thing has re-
mained constant and that is the love and care of
God. A Sovereign God, the only one who has kept
each of us. A God who has been our strength in the
midst of life’s storms.
I want to say in two words to each of us in this
hour of uncertainties, BE ENCOURAGED. William
Becton sings a song entitled, “Be Encouraged”. It
goes like this, be encouraged no matter what is go-
ing on, He will make it alright, But you (we) have
to stay strong. I know right now, it is impossible to
see, But God is going to work it out if you just be-
lieve. Remember this one thing while you are go-
ing through, If God delivered Daniel, he’ll do the
same for you (and me). Hold on, trouble doesn’t
last always, These trials are just a test, just a test of
your faith. So stand strong and dry your weeping
eyes, because guess what joy comes in the morn-
ing and Everything Will Be Alright.
My beloved that is what I am standing on every
day of my life. Reflect on Psalm 139, and as your
reflect upon this passage, know that there is no
place or situation life can take us outside of God’s
presence. He created us and knows every strand of
hair on each of our heads. Nothing catches him off
guard. Rest in God. He is able to yield unto you a
peace that surpasses all understanding. Remem-
ber as I have shared times past, “THIS TOO SHALL
PASS”.
your name. We come reverently acknowledging that
you are God and God alone. Today, we give over to
you our worries and concerns and we ask for your
help. You see it all and know it all, the circumstanc-
es, and the inner turmoil. Sometimes our hearts are
heavy from the weight of ourselves, families, and the
world. We can breathe with an assurance that it is
by your grace that we are kept. We are safe in your
arms. Help us to be encouraged and wait on you. It
is in your name, we give thanks and pray, Amen!
NOTE: The Chaplain’s Council is here for you. We
are praying for you and with you. On behalf of the
Chaplain’s Council, we have a request. We need at
least 100 Sorors to join us next Wednesday from
6:00 – 6:15A.M., for the “What Happens When Sis-
ters Pray” prayer call. I want us to bombard heav-
en together. The prayer calls have been a blessing
to us and to others. The prayer call is a time of de-
votion, prayer, and refreshing for a new day. Con-
nect with us as we bombard Heaven on behalf of
others, our community, our chapter, our Sorority,
each other and ourselves. Remember, God hears
us when we pray.
