Some Encouragement ~

{images from Country Living}

A few years ago I picked up some scripture cards published by Beth Moore that have Bible verses that
go along with different topics.  The verses I read yesterday were so sweet and timely.

I hope you'll read these prayers taken from scripture and let God's Words just encourage
your heart wherever you are at or whatever you are feeling today....

Mighty God~ be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go;
give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.  (Psalm 71:3)

Lord God, according to your word, my "light and momentary" troubles in (relation to eternity)

are achieving for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So I fix my eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 

(2 Corinthians 4:17-18)

                                                

Lord, in my heart I plan my course, but You determine my steps.  (Proverbs 16:9)  Life is not going as I planned. 

I am so grateful that You are not caught off guard.  You know everything that would befall me.  

Please direct my steps as You determine.  I need You, Lord.  Carry me when I cannot walk.

Is there heartbreak or loss, joy or sorrow that you are walking through right now?  Ask God to walk with you through it.  Be encouraged that He is with you this very moment feeling your joy, your pain, or your sorrow.  He is a God who sees you and He walks beside you. 

You are so very much loved!
