Care
All of us get lost. Depending on where you live, you may find yourself lost more often than not. Sometimes spiritually we can feel lost too. Whether it’s a broken relationship, a lost job, or just a general sense of spiritual disorientation, these times come for all of us. It’s the feeling that our lives and the world we live in should be perfect, yet they are somehow broken. Jesus is aware that we feel that way and even says in Luke 19:10 that it was his mission on earth to help people who are lost. Jesus cared so much about helping others, yet for us other people often take a back seat to our own interests. In this talk we discuss how prayer can help us connect with God’s heart for people.
