Isaiah 40:11

He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms and carry them in his bosom and gently lead the mother sheep.

      Today, oh God, is a brand new day.  Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here.  But Jesus, you are always the same, you never change.  We change as we allow your Holy Spirit to have his way in our lives.  We do have that blessed hope that all things will work together for the good as we trust and allow you to have your way.  The seasons of life change and things die as we will, but there is a resurrection that gives us hope that we will live again new.  Alive forevermore.

Blessed assurance of the Glory that will come.  So let us rejoice and be glad for this is the day the Lord hath made and every day with Jesus is better than the day before.

Give us this our daily bread.  Forgive us our trespasses and forgive our temptations against us.  Lead us not into temptation, deliver us from all evil, for thine is the King from Glory and power forever.  Amen.

Trust Jesus and your life will never be the same.  There is only one way to trust Him and that is to believe when you call on His name.

What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus.  He will be with you. He will guide you into all truths.  So allow the Holy Spirit to be your teacher.  Give thanks always with a cheerful heart.  Bless His holy name.  To God be the Glory.
