It is a good thing that God's memory is perfect, because ours certainly is broken. Aside from struggling to remember important days and doctor appointments and what time the second service at church starts, as fallen creatures we often fall short when it comes to remembering the important stuff. Do you recall the Israelites setting up stone reminders as sentinels to what God had done for their nation? Every time they passed by the pile of stones they were to remember the grace God had shown them as a people. Some of us have memories that are affected by age or illness or stress. We tend to forget, or remember imperfectly. The reason GRN sends out a monthly prayer guide like this TIP is so that our faithful partners can be reminded of specific prayer needs in the mission network and bring the ministry before the Lord regularly and in times of great spiritual need. I use a prayer app on my smartphone that repeatedly reminds me throughout the week of payer needs that I want to bring before the Father. As it is with many of us, the competing busyness of life sometimes maneuvers to keep me from remembering what I have determined I want to be a priority as a Christ-follower.

Dear Friends,A writer once said this about memory: Memory is a complicated thing; a relative of truth, but not its twin.It is a good thing that God's memory is perfect, because ours certainly is broken. Aside from

struggling to remember important days and doctor appointments and what time the second service at church starts, as fallen creatures we often fall short when it comes to remembering the important stuff. Do you recall the Israelites setting up stone reminders as sentinels to what God had done for their nation? Every time they passed by the pile of stones they were to remember the grace God had shown them as a people.

Some of us have memories that are affected by age or illness or stress. We tend to forget, or remember imperfectly. The reason GRN sends out a monthly prayer guide like this TIP is so that our faithful partners can be reminded of specific prayer needs in the mission network and bring the ministry before the Lord regularly and in times of great spiritual need. I use a prayer app on my smartphone that repeatedly reminds me throughout the week of payer needs that I want to bring before the Father. As it is with many of us, the competing busyness of life sometimes maneuvers to keep me from remembering what I have determined I want to be a priority as a Christ-follower.

Thank you for your striving with us to remember the needs of GRN before our Lord.

Peace of Christ,

Dale RickardsExecutive Director
