Here is the Japanese Lords Prayer that was a part of this Sunday's message...

A Japanese author wrote his version of Psalm 23

“The Lord is my pacesetter, I shall not rush. He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals. He provides me with images of stillness, which restores my serenity. He leads me in the way of efficiency through calmness of mind. His guidance is peace. Even though I have a great many things to accomplish today, I will not fret. For His presence is here. His timelessness, His all importance will keep me in balance. He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity by anointing my mind with His oils of tranquility. My cup of joyous energy overflows. Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours for I shall walk in the pace of my Lord and dwell in His house forever.”

Your message on surviving change was just what i needed. My tight spot may seem insignificant by comparison (my daughter's wedding) but the stress was real and affecting my health! I had not given it to God, asked for his help, or sought his counsel! I am a mature Christian, how could I failed to ask God's guidance and help? Tightening my fists and then slowly releasing them was such a relief-I felt the release and tears welled up in my eyes. 15 mins. later-I swear to you!-the tightness in my gut was gone as well as my pounding heart both of which had been present for several months. I slept better last night than I had in a long while! Philippians 4:7 was true for me. Thank you and praise God!
