"Retired, I don’t live near a military base, no

"Retired, I don’t live near a military base, no local OCF folks near me…what opportunity is there for fellowship/training through Zoom?"

In the September episode of #OCFCrosspoint, COL Steve & Miriam Shambach, USA (Ret.), who serve as the OCF Mountain Central Regional Coordinator couple, answered this question from an OCFer. And in case you missed it, they previously wrote an article, quoted in today's post, on this topic as well.

If you have a question that you want us to consider for a future “Ask OCF” segment, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org.

Psychology teaches us the enormous importance that

Psychology teaches us the enormous importance that our thoughts have upon our lives. When studying Philippians 4:8-23, the connection between the command in verse 8 to “think,” and the command in verse 9 to “put into practice” is obvious. 📖

How often our prayers are spoiled because of wandering thoughts. “The glorious freedom of the children of God” (Romans 8:21), must include freedom from wandering thoughts. In the matter of concentration some may find it helpful to pray aloud even when alone. Another hint—if tired, try praying while standing up. 💭

Sometimes distracting thoughts are a spiritual attack. In these circumstances it is worth making a note of things that come to mind and praying about them. If they are responsibilities that you have, pray that you will be conscientious and efficient; if they are temptations, pray that you will be guarded and protected from sin; if irrelevancies that the Lord would grant you clear thinking. In this way, you turn distractions into prayerful victory. 🙏

Another practical point is to keep a list or lists of people for whom you want to pray. This may be categorized by those you wish to pray for daily, those you wish to pray for on a particular day of the week and such like. In praying for Christian organizations, such as OCF, use the publications as a prayer reminder. 🗓️

The sense of the first clause of verse 6 is, “Do

The sense of the first clause of verse 6 is, “Do not be full of care for anything.” We must, of course, be careful, but the trouble is when our care turns into anxiety. The same teaching is found in Matthew 6:34, which should read, “Don’t be over anxious about tomorrow.” Anxiety or worry often indicates lack of faith, lack of trust; these are not Christian characteristics, and in view of Romans 8:28 should not be. See Daniel 3:16. Luke 12:22 urges a spirit of confidence, not an attitude of carelessness. 🙏

Compare Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42. If you worry you do not trust; if you trust you do not worry. If you find prayer hard, read a passage from the Bible first; note especially the promises there and allow God to speak to you, and then speak to Him. 📖
