Pressure

Derek and I are facing an intense pressure right now in so many areas it is mind boggling. Each day another thing seems to pop up and we find ourselves struggling to endure. The most recent thing involves crime. South Africa is one of the most crime ridden nations in the world and we've had our experiences over the years with theft. Our storeroom was broken into last night and quite a few things were taken. Our neighbors to the left and right have had incidents as well, one in the last couple of days. Our concern is that the thieves will return. We are grateful they didn't get access into the house, but other neighbors have not been as fortunate. In regards to the theft please pray for our family's protection and the protection of our property. In regards to everything else pressing in us, please pray that God would refine us through it all. Where release and breakthrough are His intentions we pray He would act quickly. Where we need to persevere, we pray we would endure. Where we need to fight we pray we would do so in His strength. Where we need to rest, we pray we would trust Him more deeply. Thank you!
