For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey him, and then helping you do what he wants. Philippians 2: 13 TLB

Christ longs for us to receive Him, but sometimes we forget how to welcome perfect PEACE. We try to handle life on our own and wonder WHY we struggle. Circumstances become overwhelming and we need to be reminded Jesus IS here EVERY day.      

Sometimes, we get lost in the worry of wonder.  But our gentle Shepherd opens our hearts for the Father’s love. He helps us learn to be faithful and remember who handles fear. He works for the GOOD and gives us desire to want to persevere…    

God reminds us to TRY, TRY, TRY even when it’s hard. He places HOPE in our hearts. While we are held in His holiness, we experience MERCY and GRACE. We find STRENGTH from the love of His faithfulness.     

The Bible says, “And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans. Romans 8:28 TLB Now, more than ever we need to remember God IS GOOD and LOVE Him with ALL OF OUR HEARTS. Regardless of the circumstances we face, He WILL ALWAYS take care of His children and set the stage for what’s to come! 

One day everything will make sense when God reveals the purpose of His plan. Until then, we must remain faithful and completely TRUST.   

Dear God, thank you for moments to be reminded who is working for the GOOD. Forgive us when we forget to humble our hearts and TRUST. We will welcome STRENGTH which comes from YOU when we’re weary and afraid. We will begin this day in praise and choose to be grateful. Thank you for helping us walk with Jesus. We learn a lot as we're led toward YOU. Thank you for the power of Your love. It's what we need to keep on going... Amen
