Faith, Folklore, and Friends

Very early in the morning, while it was still  dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went  off to a solitary place, where he prayed. ~Mark 1:35

And pray that we may be delivered from  wicked and evil people, for not everyone  has faith. But the LORD is faithful, and  he will strengthen you and protect you  from the evil one. ~2 Thessalonians 3:2-3

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. ~Philippians 4:6-7 The Message
