Never Despair
Thought for the Day
“If you are feeling down, know that God has always had wonderful plans for you. Unfortunately, there are things that happen and forces that work to try and keep us from reaching what He has for us. The good news is that there is healing at work. God is always working in and through your life to try to get you back to where He wants you.”
Today’s Word
“I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” (Psalm 40:1-2 NIV)
Today’s Prayer
Father, even though it may be hard for me to see sometimes, I know the greatness You have in store for me. I thank You for never giving up on me as I many times veer off the course You have set for my life. I know that You will lift me up to new heights that only You can foresee. On that I rest my hopes and desires and let go of any despair that might enter my mind. Amen.
Personal Reflection
Have there been plans that you have had for yourself that seem to have gone unfulfilled? Can you envision a way, with His help, to get back on track?
