Jesus says in Matt. 28:20 ~~ "I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS TO THE END OF TIME." Isn't this just so precious. Jesus is there for us. He will NEVER leave us. Jesus carries us through our struggles. We just need to TRUST in Him and rely full strength on Him for direction, guidance, and give our problems to Him to carry for us. What a great friend we have in Jesus and His abiding in and with us. By faith in Jesus we are saved, it is a free gift from God. Psalm 46:1 states~~~ "GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF TROUBLE."

THE LORD'S PRAYER OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN.... You are the one and only one true God. HALLOWED BE THY NAME..... Make Your name holy in my life. THY KINGDOM COME..... Use me to spread Your saving Gospel. THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.... Your will, not my will, be done. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD..... All our bodily needs. AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US. Help me to forgive others, even as YOU daily forgive me. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION.... Keep me from yielding to the temptations of Satan and the world. BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL...... Protect me from every evil of body and soul. FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY, FOREVER AND EVER..... YOU are a GREAT and GLORIOUS GOD! AMEN!!! Yes! Yes! may all this be true for YOUR BLESSED NAME'S sake!!!! (this is a tremendously meaningful prayer that the Master Himself taught to His disciples, and to us, His followers, down through the ages.) Taken form the Lutheran Witness Magazine THE LORD BE WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU HIS PEACE!!!

23rd Psalm The Lord is my Shepherd. That's Relationship! I shall not want. That's Supply! He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. That's Rest! He leadeth me beside the still waters. That's Refreshment! He restoreth my soul. That's Healing! He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness. That's Guidance! For His name sake. That's Purpose! Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. That's Testing! I will fear no evil. That's Protection! For Thou art with me. That's Faithfulness! Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. That's Discipline! Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. That's Hope! Thou annointest my head with oil. That's Consecration! My cup runneth over. That's Abundance! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. That's Blessing! And I will dwell in the house of the Lord. That's Security! Forever. That's Eternity!

THANK YOU LORD I thank and praise our Lord for life. Even though I'm living daily in physical strife. Living close to Christ, clinging to Him. Gives me courage and beautiful peace within. Setting goals and sights on Christ alone. Keeps me focused on my future heavenly home. How special to have the security each day. No matter what happens, Christ hears me as I pray. Lord give me strength to get through this pain. If it is Your will grant me continued faith, healing to gain. For you my Lord in Your divine wisdom has plans for me. I trust in Your love, Your cross I continually see. For who am I to grumble or complain about my struggle. For You carry my load so I in Your arms may snuggle. Oh precious loving compassionate Lord of mine, I Praise you for Your love and faithfulness so fine.

Hope your day is going alright. Love and prayers from Duane and Clara Why should we worry, why should we fear? *He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End! He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all! He is the Architect of the universe and The Manager of all times. He always was, He always is, and He always will be... Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone! He was bruised and brought healing! He was pierced and eased pain! He was persecuted and brought freedom! He was dead and brought life! He is risen and brings power! He reigns and brings Peace! The world can't understand him, The armies can't defeat Him, The schools can't explain Him, and The leaders can't ignore Him. Herod couldn't kill Him, The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and The people couldn't hold Him! Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him, The New Age can't replace Him, and Donahue can't explain Him away! He is light, love, longevity, and Lord. He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God. He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure. His ways are right, His word is eternal, His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me. He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior, He is my guide, and He is my peace! He is my Joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord, and He rules my life! I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life. I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, The power of the powerful, The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, The leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and The sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size. His goal is a relationship with ME! He will never leave me, Never forsake me, Never mislead me, Never forget me, Never overlook me, and Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book! When I fall, He lifts me up! When I fail, He forgives! When I am weak, He is strong! When I am lost, He is the way! When I am afraid, He is my courage! When I stumble, He steadies me! When I am hurt, He heals me! When I am broken, He mends me! When I am blind, He leads me! When I am hungry, He feeds me! When I face trials, He is with me! When I face persecution, He shields me! When I face problems, He comforts me! When I face loss, He provides for me! When I face Death, He carries me Home! He is everything for everybody, everywhere, Every time, and every way. He is God, He is faithful. am His, and He is mine! My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world. So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this... He said it and that settles it. God is in control, I am on His side, and That means all is well with my soul. Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
