Encourage: Purpose: Prayers and Poetry

                                               Encourage

                                                Sharing becomes courage

                                                when we embrace

                                                each other’s grief,

                                                joy, questions,

                                                opportunities.

                                                Sharing deepens truth

                                                when we recognize

                                                failures, worries,

                                                barriers, draining

                                                each of us.

                                                Sharing deepens faith

                                                when together we

                                                gather in prayer,

                                                encouragement, honesty,

                                                worship.

Psalm 18:24, “Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.”
