Afternoon Bible Study
Beauty is all around us. We can see it in God's creation and throughout moments in our lives. Just like in nature, seasons in our lives come and go. Nothing ever lasts.

Seasons of joy are often followed by mourning and loss. But after living through seasons of pain, we may feel like dancing. We will experience highs and lows, but in every season, God is always there. We can have peace when we go through tough times because they are only temporary.

It takes time for everything to become beautiful. A small seed can grow into an amazing, colorful flower. Then, it dies. But another bud grows and blooms, and beauty is created again. It's how God created everything to function. It's His design and plan for nature.


In our lives, we can see that same pattern over and over. We can choose to look forward to the beauty that is coming in the days ahead, or we can allow ourselves to become distracted by the hardships we currently see all around us. Our perspective should be influenced by what we know about who God is and what He does. He works all things together for our good. He is faithful and just. His motives are pure and holy.



God has mercy and love for us. When we wonder how we will make it through a particular season, we can depend on the character of God that is described in the Bible. We know that we can trust God in every season of life.
Afternoon Prayer
Father, I am grateful for every season in life. You have made all things beautiful in your time. In the seasons when I am struggling, I know it won't last forever--it's only temporary. When everything is going well, I can enjoy the blessings in my life. Help me to celebrate every season because I know you are teaching me to trust you more. When doubt enters my mind, please cause faith to rise within me. I choose to place my eyes on you in every season. Give me an eternal perspective to see things like you do. In Jesus's name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study
"When we are ill, or have loved ones who are ill, the number one thing we must do is believe and put our trust in the Lord's hands. Pray to Him and ask Him to do what He can to ease the pain that we or our loved ones face."


When Jesus performed miracles, He did it to show that if you just put your trust in the Lord, all things are possible. He can give sight to the blind, He can give legs to the paralyzed, and He can heal those who are sick. Call on the Lord, leave it in His hands, and trust what He will do.
Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for all that you do. Thank you for protecting me and all others who have faith. Continue to take care of those who are sick, including myself when I am ill and in need of help. I know that as long as I trust in you, I am in good hands and everything will be taken care of. I love you, Lord. I will never turn my back on you. In your name I pray, amen.
