 In an ever-changing world, here's Pastor Alan Carson from the First United Methodist Church in Weatherford, Oklahoma, with today's prayer and scripture. Good morning, friends. Today's scripture reading is Psalm 34, 17 and 18. Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you. If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there. If you're kicked in the gut, He'll help you catch your breath.
