I read this today at church and wanted to pass it on to you...
8 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,[a] about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. 2 Corinthians 1:8-11
I know that what we have experienced in the last year has not been a death sentence and I know that your time there in Malawi has not been full of deadly peril, BUT both of these life circumstances (and the fact that you are super tired tonight and feeling on the verge of getting sick) are all things that help us remember that we cannot rely on ourselves but on God...
May you both get the rest you need tonight... Know that you are being prayed for while you sleep...
