The Pastor and People of Sundahl Lutheran Church   Join with You in Prayer at this Time of Your Illness   The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1   Sundahl Lutheran Church PO Box 317 Aneta, North Dakota 58212 701/226-4177 HEALING WORDS FROM SCRIPTURE The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul. Psalm 23:1,2 I lift my eyes up to thehills - from where will my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth... The LORD will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore. Psalm 121:1,2,7,8 They who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings, like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 Jesus said, "Behold, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Matthew 28:20 Jesus said, "Peace is my parting gift to you, my own peace, such as the world cannot give. Set your troubled hearts at rest, and banish your fears." John 14:27 Rejoice in the LORD always; again I will say, Rejoice...Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplications with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
