Spiritual Guidance

I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Hebrews 13:5

Even when fear or stress challenges you, one

need never deal with it single-handedly, if

Jesus rules your life. When your life seems in

shambles around you, He offers strength and

comfort for a hurting heart. God never gives

up on you. His love cannot change. Today,

delight in the One who never deserts you.

She doesn't worry about her family
when it snows; their winter clothes

are all mended and ready to wear.

Proverbs 31:21

While trying to enjoy today, the worry bug

pesters you about tomorrow, reminding you

of yesterday's unpleasantness. But planning

ahead stops that worry bug's incessant

buzzing. Think about what you might need

in order to survive your next season. Then

make a plan to take care of the things

you can. Of course, surprises will come,

but because you've done what is in your

personal power to do, you can rest and trust

that you and God will face the unexpected

together.

Lord, I don't want to be a quitter;

but I've tried so hard to be like You,

and I keep messing up. I know You said that with

You all things are possible,

and I need to be reminded of that daily.

Don't let me give up.

Help me to remember that

You aren't finished with me yet.
