Good morning and Happy Friday 😃
Some of us are depressed and living in fear and anxiety. It doesn’t have to be that way. When we can’t go any longer in our own strength, there is a God who knows us and sees us. He is active even BEFORE we recognize his presence.
“ I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.” Psalm 40: 1-3 (NLT).

Greetings 👋
We have a secret weapon that is not flesh and blood. He holds the key to our national and individual successes.
“I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.
The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear. What can man do to me?
The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.” Psalm 118: 5-9.
Here’s a very special and appropriate scripture for today.
“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together ...
