There are many spiritual statements, Scriptures, & practices that will help sustain us through these challenging days.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. The Lord of host is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Be Not Afraid”
“You shall cross the barren desert but you shall not die of thirst. You shall wonder far in safety though you do not know the way. You shall speak your words to foreign lands & all will understand. You shall see the face of God and live.Be not afraid I go before you always. Come follow me, and I will give you rest”
“God will Make a Way”
"God will make a way, where there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side with Love & strength for each new day. He will make a way. By a roadway in the wilderness He leads me. Rivers in the desert will I see. Heaven & earth will fade but His Word will still remain & He will do something new today. Oh God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me. He will be my guide hold me closely to His side. With love & strength for each new day. He will make a way for me. He will be my guide hold me closely to His side. He will make a way.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ God’s closeness is the source of all peace
God’s grace is the source of comfort
God’s light is the source of hopefulness
God’s love is the source of joy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“When you pass through waters, I will be with you; & through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you. I am about to do a new thing. I will make a way in the wilderness.” (11 Cor)
“In all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor heights, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prayer: May God’s peace that passes all understanding live in your hearts & your minds as you move through these days & forever more. AMEN
