Lord, I rise early before the sun is up to talk with You and get hope from Your word. Sometimes I stay awake through the night, thinking about what You have promised to me and my family. The very essence of Your word is truth, and it gives me great peace and discernment. Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Your word is my only source of hope, so help me to find joy in Your word today!
Son, move forward and do whatever you have in mind, for I am with you. I have been with you wherever you have gone. Share your food, give shelter and clothing to those I send to you. I will give you all you will need continually. You and your family will be known as rebuilders of walls and a restorer of homes, so never give up.
You are like fragile clay jars containing My great treasure. Sometimes you will be pressed on every side by troubles, but you will not be crushed. Sometimes you will be perplexed, but I will never abandon you. Sometimes you will get knocked down, but I will help you up. Because you and your family believe in Me, be bold, speak up, and never give up. Though your bodies are dying, I will renew your spirits every day. For your troubles are small and won’t last very long. But, they will produce for you a glory that vastly outweighs your problems and that glory will last forever! So don’t look at the troubles you can see now; rather, fix your gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things you see now will soon be gone, but the things you cannot see will last forever.
Lord, I have taken all my troubles to You in prayer and You answered me! For You know what me and my family are really like! So do as you have promised concerning us. Please continue to confirm Your promise to us, for Your words are truth. Thank You for Your promises of good things because when You grant a blessing, it is an eternal blessing!
