Simple Country Family
When sharing in life and fellowship with the people of Pine Ridge Ministries, you will experience a genuine sense of family, a basic sense of what it means to be country, and an intentional simplicity. At Pine Ridge Ministries, we are committed to being a simple community of faith learning to love and serve God and neighbor while growing together, through the Holy Spirit as one body of Christ. It is our prayer that each and every person at Pine Ridge Ministries has a sense of belonging and being loved just as they are.

From Pastor Shayla...
Then he said, "Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer."
Daniel 10:12, NLT
My husband was driving, we were attempting to make a left-hand turn across several lanes of traffic. My job in that situation is to look to the right and let him know when traffic is clear from that direction. So I did, and clearly said, “You can go here.”
​
He responded, “I can’t hear.”
​
So I said it louder, “You Can Go Here!”
​
“I can’t hear.”
​
I turned my head toward him and shouted, “YOU CAN GO HERE!”
​
“I can’t HERE!”
​
Haha, the misunderstanding made us both laugh. He could hear me loud and clear. But when he said, “I can’t here!”, I heard “I can’t hear!” Oh how often our words either not heard or are drastically misunderstood.
​
Oddly enough, prayer can often feel like that. “God, do you hear me?” Or “God, that was not what I asked for.” But our scripture reminds us that God does hear us loud and clear. And he fully understands our request too. Additionally, God is working on our behalf to answer our prayer, whether it seems like it from our perspective or not.
​
Our task is to keep praying – stay in the conversation, keep bringing our requests before him, and keep trusting the Lord for his perfect answers. First John 5:14-15 reminds us, praying in God’s will is a vital aspect of the intercession. As Jesus often reminds us, that means that we must continue to abide in him. But the bottom line is that God IS answering your prayers. Stay tuned. Keep hitting your knees and keep your “heart-ears” open.
With love in Christ,
Pastor Shayla
