1 Peter 5:7<\/strong> – Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Psalm 147:3<\/strong> – He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds<\/em><\/p>\n

James 4:16<\/strong> \u201cInstead you\u00a0ought\u00a0to say,\u00a0\u201cIf the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A few minutes ago I saw a short video with a little girl reaching up to her daddy to pick her up, and of course he did.\u00a0 The message was to enjoy them now because tomorrow is not promised.\u00a0 You know when \u201cshe\u201d was born I loved her, but was afraid to love her too much because not too long ago my heart was broken and it was so painful I didn\u2019t want to ever experience that pain again.\u00a0 I told my wife that I was afraid to love this new precious.\u00a0 I thought that because of her I would be hurt deeply again.\u00a0 Of course I got over that and she owns my heart.\u00a0\u00a0 But I had been right.\u00a0 My heart is breaking.\u00a0 So I began to weep deeply.\u00a0 Already I miss her due to the impending parting.\u00a0 I asked \u201cLord please tell me if it\u2019s your will.\u00a0 If it\u2019s your will I know it will be okay.\u201d Then our gracious Lord spoke into my heart.\u00a0 He let me know it is His will and so instantly stopped the weeping.\u00a0 I trust God who has proven Himself to me.\u00a0 I love Him who I know.\u00a0 I trust the Lord who keeps my heart.\u00a0 I trust God because I know Him.\u00a0 I truly know Him so I truly love and trust Him.\u00a0 He is my hope.\u00a0 Oh Lord, I trust you.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n

Trust God when it seems that the most difficult things are happening.\u00a0 We don\u2019t trust in circumstances, or people, or idols held in deep spots of the heart.\u00a0 Only our trust in the Lord matters.\u00a0 Most important is to know Him more every day and then He is seen in the days of life.\u00a0 Others, even those who should know better, will say that no-one sees God.\u00a0 But Jesus has torn down the veil that concealed. (1 Corinthians 3:16)<\/strong> We see God.\u00a0 We see His hand work for us.\u00a0 Because we know Him our faith in Him grows and then we learn the meaning of Him working all things together for those who love Him. I say this from experience. (Romans 8:28<\/strong>) I know Him so I love and trust Him.\u00a0 I hope all of you also do. Love God. Draw near to Him. Then you will know how He has and does reveal Himself.\u00a0 Tears may come but He will be your comfort through each one.\u00a0 He, and only Him, is enough. Our God is so good.\u00a0 Let\u2019s cling to Him!\u00a0 Praise our God and Lord Jesus Christ!\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n

Psalm 150:6<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/em><\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0He has\u00a0shown you, Oh man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; and what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you, but\u00a0to do justly, to love\u00a0mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.<\/em><\/p>\n

Numbers 6:24-26<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
