By Becky Sims “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 HCSB We have direct access to our God when we posture our hearts in prayer. Everyone experiences tough times. That’s part of living in a fallen and sinful world. Even so, we’re better able to make it through these difficulties when we travel together. As an eighteen-year-old college student, God called me to volunteer for our local Suicide Prevention Hotline.
