So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord! Psalm 31: 24 NLT

God is always with us! He guides us every day. He knows how to provide for our needs. When the storms of life surround us, He gives us courage and strength. He helps us remember who will handle every single thing.   

God grows our FAITH as we put our TRUST in Him. The Bible says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3: 5-6 NLT

As we pray for mercy, we begin to understand the love God has for each of us. There will never be a day without His greatness. HE is the One who places HOPE in our hearts and provides safety in His care.     

Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a HOPE. We must “occupy hopefulness” when we wake in the worry of wonder. God WILL see us through. There IS STRENGTH in the power of His mighty love.  

Dear God, Thank you for helping us remember who's in charge of our days. Open our hearts to welcome the love of Your faithfulness, so we will remember to TRUST in YOU. Thank you for taking care of each one of us and helping us remember we will find comfort in YOU. Thank you, Lord!  Thank you! Amen
