Yes, it was somewhat cool and a bit windy, even wet; nevertheless, we gathered and worshiped and it was good--very good. My message from John 17 was probably a bit different from what you might have heard in the past from that passage; to be honest, it was very fresh truth for me.
I find it very encouraging to know that even Jesus had times of anxiety, times when, having done everything He could do concerning some particular situation, He went to His Father in prayer. I find it especially encouraging to know that is really does care for us, so much so that He prayed for us!
Take a few minutes to reflect of the specifics of His prayer for us (you have them from your notes yesterday) and then "cast all of your cares upon Him" for He really does care for you, which at this point should be very obvious.
Your Pastor
