2 weeks ago on a Saturday night, I was really stressed. I had a list a mile long to take care of. And I was also trying to prepare a sermon. And I was trying my best just to tackle one thing at a time. And I think I did a pretty okay job not taking it out on my kids and my family. But by the time that I went to bed, my stomach was in knots. And I don't know if any of you ever go to bed and you're just praying. You're like, God, just help me not forget anything that I've committed to do. And I woke up the next morning to a text from a staff member and a friend. Her name's Daytona. And she texted me and she said that she had woken up in the middle of the night and felt led to pray peace over us. And she just typed out a prayer about the peace of God having authority over me. That was bread. I woke up to bread right there on my phone because someone else stopped for a second to think about someone other than herself.
