Acts 27
In life, circumstances are always changing. Our circumstances are always changing. Our perceptions of our circumstances are always changing. So unless we have the eternal perspective that comes from God's word, we will be like sifting sand...we will be like a boat on wind-blown waves that's being tossed around. The reality is is that our life is in God's hands.

Power From Above
Jesus tells us in Matthew chapter 6 the things we can do to have a meaningful prayer life. The first is to pray - spend time in prayer with the Father. Then, don't wear a mask when you pray, do enter into God's presence with humility, and don't seek the applause of man. Seek a private place to pray, don't try to gain God's approval through your words, and do trust in the power and provision of the omniscient God.
