Praise be to God . . .

Not only has God shown his faithfulness to me, but I have seen this around me as well. In the lives of my friends. I am always amazed at how he loves us. I have learned not to underestimate the power of prayer. I know that God hears my prayers and that he speaks to me.

He has shown his faithfulness over and over again, in my life. One of the great things about this is that, as I turn to him consistently, his faithfulness helps grow my trust in him. He has always answered my prayers. Sometimes it is in a big way that I can't miss, other times the answer is a gentle imparting of wisdom and peaceful knowing.

The hardest times for me have been when he tells me I must wait. Sometimes I want things right away or in the timing that I think is right. But, I have learned that He knows so much better than I. His timing is perfect. He loves me and will direct me. He wants me to turn to him. I willingly do so, because I know that there is no better place to be than in his love.

Proverbs 30:5
God keeps every promise he makes. He is like a shield for all who seek his protection.

Prayer for the day:
I thank you God. I praise you for your love and faithfulness. You are my hope. I trust you, Lord. I seek your will.

Amen
