COT: With thanks to Bogey for leading a focus on mental health awareness this month, PAX were encouraged to talk about what’s going on in their lives and build trust and depth in our friendships before you need them. Being a friend involves helping, but also asking and accepting help. Sharing with someone what might be troubling you can build a foundation for when the bigger challenges in life hit, and the process of opening up creates an opportunity for both parties to learn and acknowledge we are not alone.

Paul and Silas. Entered Europe for the first time sharing the Good News. They were imprisoned in Philippi because they delivered a girl from divination. Beaten, falsly accused, and thrown in the inner most cell of the prison. What did they do there? They: 1. Sang hymns of praise to God 2. Prayed. About midnight God created an earthquake by which they were freed but chose instead to stay and witness to the jailer who was saved. If you find yourself in a bad spot have a song that you can sing. We can sing within the jail cells of life. Prayer for each man.

COT: On May 10, 1994 Nelson Mandela became president of South Africa — overcoming 27 years of imprisonment and discrimination to lead a revolution in his country. Of his experience, he said: ““I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” If you’re in a difficult situation, do not give into the fear and trepidation, but push through it.
