We finally have all the paperwork necessary for us to file for our girls' Canadian Immigration. Hallelujah!!!
By the end of this week, our Part 2 Canadian Immigration should be headed for Nairobi for final approval.
Please pray:
1). That our agency puts the complete file together with no missing paperwork.
2). That Nairobi issues our girls' Canadian Visas quickly without any additional requirements.
Thank you for standing with us. It takes a village! Praise God for this final step!!!
We rejoice with you in the progress of this “Journey of Faith” but one cannot help but feel anxious when we look at other situations and the happenings around us. But they all remind us to look up instead of looking into ourselves or looking outward to other situations and possibilities. Yes, we know that Satan has power and God allows Satan some space, but ultimately it is God and His Word that has the ultimate authority, and so we look to His Word, His strength and His character.
ReplyDeleteAnd He tells us 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We cannot have the restful peace in our hearts when we are anxious by imagining all negative possibilities, but only by an assured confidence resting in God and Jesus Christ and being thankful that He knows our needs and has a heart of care for us as we submit to Him, realizing His ways and plans are greater than ours.
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
