Chaplain's Corner
Greetings Post Family,
Have you ever had a mountain in front of you that you’ve been hoping and waiting would move, but it looks impossible? Maybe you’ve been waiting and doing all you can all year, or perhaps longer, and now you’re starting to wonder if it will ever move. Maybe you’re even losing faith that it can.
No matter how impossible it may seem, nothing is impossible with God. That mountain can move.
“For with God nothing shall be impossible..”
Sometimes we don’t understand what God is doing or why the mountain isn’t moving yet, but that doesn’t mean He doesn’t hear and isnt already doing things in perfect timing.
““For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.”
Have you ever thought that perhaps that mountain is there to build you? To teach you, to strengthen you, to deepen your faith and prepare you to be everything you were meant and called to be? To make you stronger than you ever imagined, like a mighty oak that is immovable in the storms? That maybe it’s an integral part of your story that will impact not just you, but many others, when you share your story?
Look at that mountain and this time waiting for it to move from a different perspective- how is it building you, strengthening you? What can the mountain teach you? What is the waiting teaching you? Ask God to show you. The answers may change how you feel about the mountain and the waiting, and may renew your hope if you’ve become discouraged.
“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Keep holding on to faith and hope that God can do anything, including move that mountain. He is with you as you wait to see Him move it. He may just be using it and the time as you wait to make you everything you were meant to be.

Please keep Rob Kelly Jr in your prayers. He has been in the hospital for a few days and spending some time in ICU. Please pray for a quick healing and recovery for Rob and that he is out of the hospital soon!
Please continue to pray for our members who may have silent or anonymous prayer requests, as well as those who may be mourning or suffering at this time. We have lost several members of our post recently- please continue to keep their families and loved ones in your prayers, and reach out to check on them if you can.
Prayer is powerful and God hears!
As always, if you need prayer or support, please know there are several ways to reach your chaplain. There is a prayer request form you can fill out here: https://form.jotform.com/ChaplainAL43/prayerrequest
You can input as little or as much information as you are comfortable with.
You can also reach out directly to chaplain@post43.org if you'd rather do that.
There are also chaplains for the sons, auxiliary, and riders that are available as well.
If you want to pray but are not sure how to pray, please reach out too. We are happy to guide you to pray alone also!
It's ok to not be ok. You are not alone.
