When he was 7 years of age, his family was forced out of their home, and he went to work. When he was 9, his mother died. He lost his job as a store clerk when he was 20. He wanted to go to law school, but he didn't have the education. At age 23 he went into debt to be a partner in a small store. Three years later the business partner died, and the resulting debt took years to repay. When he was 28, after courting a girl for four years, he asked her to marry him, and she turned him down. On his third try he was elected to Congress, at age 37, but then failed to be re-elected. His son died at 4 years of age. When this man was 45, he ran for the Senate and lost. At age 47 he ran for the vice-presidency and lost. But at age 51 he was elected president of the United States. The man was Abraham Lincoln, a man who learned to face discouragement and move beyond it. Did you know that it was Abraham Lincoln who, in the midst of the Civil War, in 1863, established the annual celebration of Thanksgiving? Lincoln had learned how important it is to stop and thank God in the midst of great difficulties. -John Yates, "An Attitude of Gratitude," Preaching Today, Tape No. 110.

Often, long before we call, the help is on the way. August Hermann Francke was a Lutheran Christian in Germany who had learned the art of prevailing prayer. Francke's ministry in life was taking care of orphans. There were times when his trust in God was sorely tested because bills were due and there was no money in sight. One day, his manager had brought a bunch of bills, and Francke had to confess that he had no money to pay them. About to fall on his knees for the purpose of asking God to remember the cause of these needy orphans, he found it necessary first to dictate a message. Then, before he could fall on his knees to ask for the money, a draft for a thousand dollars was delivered. Thus being reminded of the promise, "Before they call I will answer" (Isa. 65:24), he made his way to his chamber to fall upon his knees to stammer forth his thanks. -------------------- [ TODAY'S BOTTOM SPONSOR ] ----------------- Modifiable Church Letters for Pastors and Church Leaders Free Demo Download.
