In the Meantime!

“Why are you fearful, O you of Little Faith"

Matthew 8:26

Cause us to hear your loving-kindness in the morning, for in you do we trust. We continue to stand in awesome wonder of your great and mighty works. Thank you for reaching beyond our human faults and frailties to love us without wavering.

Hold us in the palm of your hand in between the cross and the resurrection, between the humiliation and and exaltation.

Protect us even in shadows of threatening things or when haters encamp around us. Calm our fears, which try to immobilize our faith.

Even if we find ourselves at the breaking point, strengthen our faith so that we won’t break confidence in you. Help us to hold on between our Fridays and the Sunday morning on the way.

In Your name, Amen.

Lord, we live daily believing and behaving the Resurrection on the way!

Back on Track

"You are my strength and my song; You are my Counselor and my Friend." Psalm 118

Out of my distressed Lord, I called upon You. Thank you for answering me and helping me to get back on track. The stone that the builder rejected has become the foundation for my life. I give thanks to you for the invitation to a new life!

You have been with me; You live within me helping me to face the fears that well up inside me. Now, I'm not consumed by worry and fear that I may get off track again. I acknowledge your Presence within me and Your love surrounds me so that I am no longer overwhelmed.

Today, I shall live in peace and give witness to your saving grace. You are my strength and my song; You are my Counselor and Friend.

(Based on Psalm 118, VMM)

Believe and Receive

Lord, help us not to trip over our doubts and fears today. Help us to resist the standing still tendencies that so easily beset us when we hear your voice to press on. We know through your Word that you have plans for us, plans not to harm but to prosper us. In Your name, we ask you to help us today to reach out in faith, act boldly, to walk in divine favor believing and receiving your promises. Amen.
