Walking with God

Submitted by: Sandra Harris Frey

September is the month when the weather begins to cool from the summer’s oppressive heat, the leaves on the trees begin making subtle changes in color, and the long awaited college football season is just beginning.

However, it is also the month where six years ago such tragedy, grief, and despair was experienced on 9/11 that it rocked the faith of many. In the aftermath of 9/11, souls turned to God for answers, for him to heal their grieved souls and for the strength to cope with the agonizing fear of being attacked again. For those who lost loved ones, grief and despair is still not far away. One of my prayers during that time was for the hurt to lessen with time. We will never forget that day.

Turning to God during tragedy is pledge of faith. Walking with God each day gives us peace and strength and is a direct witness to others. His love shines in our whole being as we walk with him daily. May you always walk with God.

Chorus from the hymn In The Garden

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
