2 Corinthians 1 | Deborah Bryant

Today kicks off our newest series through the book of 2 Corinthians. Division Coordinator, Deborah Bryant, opens us up with chapter one, reminding us of our who our great God is—full of mercy and comfort. No matter the struggles we face, God is faithful to walk with us. “He meets us in our suffering with His tender presence and strengthening power. And He doesn’t stop there. He uses what we have walked through to equip us to comfort others.”The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Around that time, I read a book about Moms in Prayer International, and it deeply resonated with me. Just days later, I saw a friend while shopping and to my surprise, she had read the same book! Right then and there we decided to start a Moms in Prayer group together.Through Moms in Prayer, I began—and continue—to learn how to surrender my fears and worries, letting God replace them with His peace and comfort. Now years later, meeting weekly with my Moms in Prayer group remains one of the most meaningful and powerful things I do as a mom.My husband and I live in Des Moines, Iowa. We’re blessed with a daughter, and a son and daughter-in-law, who also live nearby.SCRIPTURESNot only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5 ESVThe heart of man plans his way,    but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 ESVIt is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8 ESVLINKSMOMS IN PRAYERNew to Moms in Prayer?
