On My Knees by Arnetta Rodgers, Gracious Hosts Pillar Leader

On My Knees by Arnetta Rodgers, Gracious Hosts Pillar Leader

Hard to get my “bearings…”
Where am I?… Who am I…?
How to make sense of it all…
Adrift…

On my knees…

Psalms 105:4 “Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.”

Around the world… no “home” to “shelter in place,” to practice “physical distancing…”
Hunger…
No clean water… to drink, to wash my hands
Immigrants without a home… unwelcome
Children… empty bellies… crying
Everywhere: the “marginalized…”
Where to begin???

On my knees…

Who is my neighbor?
A cup of cold water… a crust of bread
Family Promise
Feed the Need
Community food drives
Save the Children
International Rescue Committee
Aqua Viva Serves
Water for People
Center for American Indian Health
Inua

Proverbs 19:7 “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.”

On my knees…
On my knees…
On my knees…

“In quietness and trust is your strength.”  Isaiah 30:15

Amen
