Meditation
I wrote my worries down, prayed, and put them in a "God Box". Over time, I forgot what I wrote and trusted God more. He cares for me and provides renewed hope and joy. I now surrender my worries to Him.

Pray 🙏
Heavenly Father, we come to You in our times of need, asking that You open our eyes to Your love and faithfulness. Help us to trust in You and surrender our struggles to You, so that our faith may grow. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Find Strength in God's victory over evil

Philippians 4:13 NKJV
[13] I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Meditation
This dog trainer's kindness and faith inspired me. His example of holiness showed me that we can all bear witness to God's love and share His good news through acts of kindness. His calm, kind demeanor and willingness to help me in my time of need showed me that we can all do great things with God's strength. His compassion and understanding was a reminder that we can all be a light in the world.

Pray 🙏
Heavenly Father, help us to recognize your presence in our lives so that we may show your love in all that we do. May we be blessed with your grace. Amen.

Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.

Psalm 91:9–10

Abide in His Perfect Love
I know it can be very hard to feel God’s love for you when you are faced with multiple symptoms in your body, mounting debts from your medical bills, and worries about your future. We live in a world where we are governed by our five senses, and there are times when it is hard to believe in the love of Someone we can’t see, touch, or hear.

But we cannot depend on feelings and outward circumstances (that can change) to be assured of God’s love for us. It is so important we fix our eyes, instead, on our Lord Jesus, whose love for us is perfect, never changes, and never fails.

May I share with you some of the things you can do that I believe will help to keep you in His perfect love?

Instead of allowing the enemy to feed you with lies that cause you to be fearful, keep listening to messages that will keep you in the consciousness of God’s love for you. Embrace His love to drive out every fear.

Every time the enemy tries to attack you with fears, plug into a sermon that magnifies the Lord’s goodness and love for you. Instead of giving in to the devices of the enemy, keep listening to sermons about Jesus’ finished work.

Instead of reading articles on the internet that tell you how serious your condition can become, or reading your medical report over and over again, read praise reports about the Lord’s love and faithfulness. Read scriptures about His love and healing promises. Garrison yourself with the Word of God and keep yourself in His love

Gospel of the Day

Luke 1:39-45 NKJV
[39] Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, [40] and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. [41] And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. [42] Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! [43] But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. [45] Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting

Meditation
Grief can be hard to understand, but God is with us. When our loved one passes, we can become angry & confused. As years go by, I found something positive in my grief when I shared my experience with another. God grieves with us in our sorrow. He's always there, even in our darkest moments.

Pray 🙏
Heavenly Father, we thank You for being with us in this time of sorrow. Help us to be patient and to trust in You, no matter what the future holds. Amen

John8:12 states, "Jesus spoke to them again: 'I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.'"

This verse highlights the importance of following Jesus as our guide in decision-making.

To discern when to wait for God's timing versus taking action, consider these steps:

1. **Prayer**: Seek God's guidance through prayer. Ask for clarity and wisdom in your situation.

2. **Scripture**: Reflect on biblical teachings. Verses like Proverbs3:5-6 encourage trusting in the Lord and acknowledging Him in all your ways.

3. **Peace**: Pay attention to the peace or unease in your heart. God often provides a sense of peace when it’s time to act or wait.

4. **Counsel**: Seek advice from trusted Christian friends or mentors who can provide insight and perspective.

5. **Patience**: Sometimes waiting is part of God's plan. Trust that His timing is perfect, even if it feels challenging.
