Fain's Development LLC

In the heart of Chicago’s historic North Lawndale neighborhood, the 24th Ward offers more opportunities than you might realize. This used to be a parking lot. Just last year, we now have new affordable housing. It’s a symbol of growth, unity, and opportunity. Let's thank Pastor Marvin Hunter.

Beloved Jesus,
YOUR WORD TELLS ME TO SING TO YOU because You have dealt bountifully with me. I confess that sometimes singing praises is the last thing I feel like doing, but that’s when I need it the most. You have indeed dealt bountifully with me—even when it doesn’t seem that way. I’ve been on an uphill journey with You, and I’m growing weary. I yearn for some easy days, for a path that is not so steep. But I realize it is the strenuous climbs that take me ever upward—closer and closer to the summit.
Help me remember that the difficulty of my circumstances is not a mistake. It’s a matter of Your sovereign will and—to some extent—my own goals. I desire to live close to You and to grow more fully into the one You created me to be. Pursuing these goals has put me on an adventurous trail where difficulties and dangers abound.
Sometimes I compare my life-path with those of people whose lives seem easier than mine. But I don’t fully comprehend the problems they face, nor do I know what the future holds for them. Instead of comparing my circumstances with those of others, I need to turn to You and listen as You instruct me, “You follow Me!”
In Your bountiful Name, Amen
