New York: The 652nd online prayer meeting of the International Prayer Line (IPL) was held with blessings on the evening of Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The meeting was welcomed and introduced by IPL coordinator Mr. C. V. Samuel (Detroit). The opening prayer was offered by Mr. M. V. Varghese (Achenkunnju) from New York, followed by a Bible reading by Mrs. Anna Thomas, also from New York.<\/p>\n

Rev. Prince Varghese, Vicar of New York Epiphany Mar Thoma Church, delivered the main message during the meeting. Based on Psalm 23:1, 2, and 4, he shared the declaration of David, \u201cThe Lord is my shepherd,\u201d and reminded that this statement reflected God\u2019s presence experienced personally. He emphasized that believers should be able to recognize and declare who God is during times of hardship and illness.<\/p>\n

He noted that David focused not only on crises but also on the blessings God provides, encouraging believers to shift from being complainers to becoming grateful praise-givers. He asserted the need for a faith declaration expressing the belief that God is with us even in the journey through the valley of the shadow of death.<\/p>\n

The reverend added that God is not distant but walks with us through pain. He encouraged all to see God as a shepherd amidst life\u2019s difficulties and tears and to find refuge in His presence.<\/p>\n

Intercessory prayer was led by Mr. Matthew Lucas (Joy) from Dallas, while Mr. T. A. Matthew from Houston led the thanksgiving and announcements. Technical support was provided by Mr. Shiju George and Mr. Joseph T. George (Raju) from Houston. The prayer meeting concluded with a closing prayer and blessing by Rev. P. M. Thomas of New York Epiphany Mar Thoma Church.<\/p>\n
