Name: Habanero Corn Chowder
Ingredients: 6 Ears corn, or; 3 c Frozen corn kernels; 1/2 c Potato, diced; 1 c Onion (Vidalia, Tex Sweet, etc.), diced small; 1 1/2 c Chicken stock; 1 c Heavy cream; 1 Habanero, finely diced; 1 Roasted red pepper, finely diced; 1/2 c Parmesan cheese, grated; Oil OR butter OR water, as needed

When the river of suffering rages around you and you ignore prayer, there is no peace, righteousness, strength, growth, sustenance, joy, courage, and steadfastness. Paul wrote in his letter to the Philippians that the path to peace is prayer. This is one of the amazing benefits of suffering – you can fully expect to find your times of prayer with the Lord to be sweeter, more engaging, more passionate, and more focused. Don’t expect to accept the plan of God without doing so in prayer.
