FIELD NOTES
All week, we’ve been talking about peace, and about trusting God. We’ve talked about how things can work out.
But here’s the thing: Sometimes the seas are rough. Sometimes our spouse dies. Sometimes we lose our jobs. Sometimes things are just hard.
The trust comes in knowing that when this world is restored to its full glory, God will make all the wrongs right, and that God will heal all the broken pieces of our lives. And that in that restoration, the truest form of peace we will ever know will fill our hearts. Amen.

PRAYER GUIDE
Lord, may we always trust in the big picture, that things will eventually be made right, no matter how hard it gets here during our time on Earth. Amen.
