Our church is building a building, a community resource center.<\/p>\n
Some obstacles have come up, and this afternoon my small group met on the church property to pray, along with the pastor and his wife and another friend.<\/p>\n
And it was beautiful.\u00a0 In so many ways.<\/p>\n
The weather was beautiful.\u00a0 The sun was shining through spring-green new leaves.\u00a0 A breeze was blowing.\u00a0 We were in the woods, with little flowers blooming on the forest floor.<\/p>\n
But it was also so beautiful to pray in harmony with others.\u00a0 Jesus promised that when two or three of you gather together, He’ll be there with you, and we could feel His presence.<\/p>\n
“We will shout for joy when you are victorious<\/p>\n
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.”<\/p>\n
