Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Love the Lord! Be strong because of your hope in the Lord. Admit where your strength lies. Acknowledge your source of grace. Give praise to God for his abundant mercy and power lavished upon you through his Holy Spirit. The Lord preserves his people. He honors faithfulness even if it is mocked in this world. The Lord will bless his people and deal justly with those who mock and abuse them. But we can be "strong and take heart" because we "hope in the Lord!"

My Prayer...

Give me strength, O Lord, for I find myself in trying times with enemies at my door and opponents on every side. Please give me wisdom to see your grace that leads me when I am under fire. Please give me the courage to stand up for what is right, pure, and holy. Please bless me with the vision to see what you want to use me to do for your glory. Please inspire me with passionate hope as I work to accomplish all the work you have given me to do for your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
