There are no words to describe the evil that happened tonight in France.. After watching the video of a terrorist driving a truck into a crowd of families watching fireworks I just went numb. I immediately dropped to my knees and prayed with my wife Maria. We put ourselves in the victims shoes. What if that had been us, our parents, our siblings, our closest friends… Our hearts began to feel just a shadow of what those families are feeling tonight. We need to pray for France. It's easy to post a quick condolence and go on with our night, but we have to do more. BE PRAYING from a broken heart wanting to see the Lord heal the hearts of these families and speak to them even in the midst of such darkness. Pray that Jesus would reach these terrorists and they would repent and turn to Him before they commit these horrific attacks. We are here for a reason, to show the love and compassion of Jesus to this world and point them to the light. Prayer is powerful and God is above all. We are praying for France. - Jesse

This life is a race, and in order to run it with endurance, we need God's presence in our lives. The Bible describes God's presence as His life-giving breathe. Many long distance runners will say that breathing is a very important part of running because muscles will use the oxygen stored from breathing correctly to work harder for longer(endurance), and rebuild more quickly. In the same way, when we "breathe" in the presence of God through His Word, praying, praising and worshipping Him, and fellowship, we can trust that He will give us the strength to endure any trial that may come our way. He has abundant love, joy, peace, and hope for those who seek after Him! -Zac
