Song: Congregational Singers "Like a River Glorious"
Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace, Over all victorious, in its bright increase; Perfect, yet it floweth, fuller every day, Perfect, yet it groweth, deeper all the way.
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.
Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand, Never foe can follow, never traitor stand; Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care, Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.
Every joy or trial falleth from above, Traced upon our dial by the Son of Love; We may trust Him fully, all for us to do; They who trust Him wholly, find Him wholly true.
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.

"Dear Lord, Each time I partake in communion, I bow my head and silently remember how great a sacrifice You truly made to save me. I am so unworthy, and yet You saved me anyhow. Lord, help me to never forget that Your blood was spilled and Your body was beaten for me! And each time I drink of the communion cup and eat the communion wafer, may I sincerely examine my heart and my soul and get rid of anything that would stand between me and You having a good relationship.

O now I see the cleansing wave! The fountain deep and wide; Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save, Points to His wounded side.
The cleansing stream I see, I see; I plunge, and O it cleanseth me! O praise the Lord it cleanseth me! It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.
I see the new creation rise;
I hear the speaking blood.
It speaks! Polluted nature dies!
Sinks ’neath the cleansing flood.
The cleansing stream I see, I see; I plunge, and O it cleanseth me! O praise the Lord it cleanseth me! It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.
I rise to walk in God’s own light Above the world and sin, With heart renewed and garments white And Christ enthroned within. The cleansing stream I see, I see; I plunge, and O it cleanseth me! O praise the Lord it cleanseth me! It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.
Amazing grace! ’tis Heav’n below
To feel the blood applied,
And Jesus, only Jesus know,
My Jesus crucified.
The cleansing stream I see, I see; I plunge, and O it cleanseth me! O praise the Lord it cleanseth me! It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.

The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever ill betide,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land,
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm.
A shade by day, defense by night,
A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes afright,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land,
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm.
The raging storms may round us beat,
A shelter in the time of storm;
We'll never leave our safe retreat,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land,
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm.
O Rock Divine, O Refuge dear,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our Helper ever near,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land,
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm.

You alone give me hope, strength, and the ability to continue on walking this rocky trail.

Song: Congregational Singers "My Faith Has Found a Resting Place"
My faith has found a resting place, Not in device nor creed; I trust the Ever-living One, His wounds for me shall plead.
I need no other argument, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And that He died for me.
Enough for me that Jesus saves, This ends my fear and doubt; A sinful soul I come to Him, He’ll never cast me out.
I need no other argument, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And that He died for me.
My great Physician heals the sick, The lost He came to save; For me His precious blood He shed, For me His life He gave. I need no other argument, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And that He died for me.
My heart is leaning on the Word, The written Word of God, Salvation by my Savior’s name, Salvation through His blood.
I need no other argument, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And that He died for me.

Lord, help me reach for Your hand and learn to walk on top of the water. May Your Spirit strengthen my faith in You so that I trust You to hold me throughout ANY storm that may come my way. Lord, I'm calling out to You now . . . be my Guide, be my Strength, be my Savior, be my Everything. Lord, You know what I need today. Please comfort my soul and do as you did in that storm on the Sea of Galilee -- just say "Peace be still!" and may my soul learn to rest in You and trust You in all of the unknowns that life throws at me. In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Prayer:
"Dear Lord, I am so thankful that my salvation has nothing to do with anything that I could ever do or say. On my own, I am nothing. I wish I could SHOUT to the world, Jesus saves! What a joyful sound! I don't have to worry about where I will spend eternity when I die because I KNOW that I am saved because I have believed in You, Jesus, and claimed Your shed blood on the cross as the payment for my sins. God no longer sees me as a wretched sinner -- though truly, that's what I am. Because of my acceptance of Your sacrifce on the cross, God sees me as a FORGIVEN sinner, a child of the living God. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me! In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Waft it on the rolling tide, Jesus saves, Jesus saves; Tell to sinners far and wide, Jesus saves, Jesus saves; Sing, ye islands of the sea, Echo back, ye ocean caves; Earth shall keep her jubilee, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.
Sing above the battle’s strife, Jesus saves, Jesus saves; By His death and endless life, Jesus saves, Jesus saves; Sing it softly thru the gloom, When the heart for mercy craves, Sing in triumph o’er the tomb, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.
Give the winds a mighty voice, Jesus saves, Jesus saves; Let the nations now rejoice. Jesus saves, Jesus saves; Shout salvation full and free, Highest hills and deepest caves, This our song of victory, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.
Bible Verse: Proverbs 3:8 New Living Translation (NLT) "Then you will have healing for your bodyand strength for your bones."
Prayer:
"Dear Lord, So many times I have doubted Your ability to heal my body. I have questioned Your will in allowing bad things to happen to me. I have built up elaborate walls to keep people out, because I don't want them to see the imperfections in my life. Ironically, though, it has often been those very "imperfections" that have connected me to other "sinners" just like me who are searching for a way out, for an end to their pain, for TRUE HEALING. I thank You and I praise You, Jesus, for being my Healer. Every day You take the broken pieces of who I have been and who I am and shape them into something beautiful -- and it is in ALLOWING YOU IN that I begin the healing process, not only in my body, but most importantly, IN MY SOUL! YOU are where the healing begins -- not in some doctor's or therapist's office. Although you may use other professionals as Your tools, TRUE HEALING can only come from You. I claim the promise in today's verse that You will provide healing for my body and strength for each day that I face. In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Your love is my comfort, my strength, my joy, and all that I need to keep me going.Although the love of earthly friends, family, and other loved ones is wonderful, it is nothing compared to Your unfailing love! In Jesus' precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb; There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
