 
Missionaries in Myanmar: PART 1
“Dear loving Brethren,
I am writing this Report with a broken and trembling heart.My eye is filled with sadness and tears of hurt. First of all I want to beg you to pray for our safety and protection.
The military has taken control and is killing civilians. Everyday we needed to collect dead bodies on the road with tears and pains.Banks are being shut down, and it isn’t easy to get online.
Everywhere is filled with smoke and fire as factories are burned and destroyed.Thousands of people don’t have work,food,and a place to stay now.Almost all of our church members ran back to their village. There is neither market nor a shop where we can buy food because every road is blocked.How long will we last if it continues like this!?
Just a while ago, the soldiers’ truck came and stopped near our house. We were terrified; they captured six people who were having tea in the shop. God is my only Hope.
One of Pastor James McConnell's sermons - the strange things that God uses to awaken us.

I Stand Amazed
Because He Lives
The Faithfulness of our Father in our trials is the greatest motivation to being faithful ourselves. As I look back on my health trials I an see how He has rescued me often, which encourages me every day.
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
— 1 Corinthians 10:13
Negative thoughts can sometimes come in huge waves that threaten to swamp us,  these have usually been health related for me. But in this I have never let go of the "Life Preserver" - the promises of God my Father in His Word. 
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
— Hebrews 10:23
The necessity of the Word of God as our daily sustenance is well presented in this post

Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor's] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12 AMPC
Having read a Spurgeon sermon today about the banquet in Heaven perpared for saints I was led to write this post.
