Good morning! How are we faithing? I hate it when I get a daily written and it disappears...We all have things happen that just toss us off the normal train in to the crazy river...off a trestle to boot...These things can erupt into major things or just a time of searching. I sometimes walk headlong into situations either from naivete or plain bad choice. The thing that can cause greater heartache than the actual event is worry that things will get worse or even spiral into something our imagination contrives. Fret and worry about something non existent has hurled many a person into despair. When I do that, I try to remember the promises of God and speak the scripture into being. What does that mean? Speaking scripture is very powerful for our minds and the Word says we are to "hear" the word as well as read it. If an event was heard it makes sense to me to hear the counter or the wisdom from the Word of God to counteract.

2 Tim 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
NKJV

Luke 11:28
He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." NIV

Remember Mara Gaines...remember Ron's house search...remember the troops

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace and wisdom that helps us climb out of the pit. Bring your great words to our recollection when we tire. Lord we lift the troop and leaders to you. Help them be brave and merciful. Lord we lift the unspoken requests today, guide our paths, in Jesus' name, amen
