Lam 3:21 But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
Lam 3:22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
Lam 3:23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lam 3:24 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
Lam 3:25 The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
Lam 3:26 It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

Father I thank you for this day. Help us to go about the work that you have given us in quietness, hope and contentment.
You are the vine and we are the branches. Our lives are in you and from you and through you. Bless all those that need your direction today with Light from Heaven. Support and help and heal with your touch. Bring us safely again at the end of the day to our families and home. Help our hearts to be attentive to your Spirit today.

1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Isa 26:1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.
Isa 26:2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
Isa 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Isa 26:4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.

Thank you both for your Every Wonderful Post! You are in my Prayers, Dear (((((Knitting))))).

Oh, the joys of those
Who do not Follow the advice of the wicked,
Or stand around with sinners,
Or join in with mockers.
But they delight in the law of the Lord,
Meditating on it day and night.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
Bearing luscious fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
And all they do shall prosper.
But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff,
Scattered by the wind.
They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
But the path of the wicked leads to destruction. (Ps.1)

Thank You, O Master, that our Knitting is Safe in Your Loving Care. Grant her Grace Upon Grace, and All Things Needed, as she Lives Out Your Will. Fill Your Daughter with Peace and Strength, and Work All Circumstances Out in a Wonderful Way. May Your Hand of Blessing be Traced, our King, and Your Glory be Marvellously Displayed. We Love You, our Awesome, Providing, Sustaining, Father God. In the Name of Your Son, we Give You All Praise, amen.

Lam 3:24 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."

It is unto You, O Lord, that we return, praising You above the roar of dissent and strife that comes crashing around our ears in relentless ways. There is doom and despair on all sides, yet Your Word teaches that this is not our portion. YOU are our portion, Merciful Father ... it is in You that we live and move and have our being. If this were not so, O God, we would be as madmen ... fearful at every turn, easily swayed by the appeals of men.

Relentless is the media in portraying how impotent we are ... how ignorant we are ... how unthinking and uncaring we are, and how we need the wisdom of men to guide us. Father, is this not the sin of satan, who would be like unto You? Forgive us for relying upon the goodness of man, when there is none righteous, no not one. Forgive us for lack of persistent, insistent prayer that You would raise up men after Your own heart to be the leaders among us. Prepare our hearts in this time of chastening, that we might contritely call upon You in this time of trouble. Send Your Spirit to sweep across this land, that there would be a great awakening of our need for You, and You alone. Let not the enemy be victorious in abandoning a people whom You have set free ... all of hell has seemingly been loosed upon the earth to stamp out the tiny flame of liberty and freedom that has been set in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet ever is our hope in You ... thank You, Merciful Father, that though man plans, You decide.

Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.

Rise up, O men of God!
The kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.

Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great!

Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God! ~ William P. Merrill

And may it be, Merciful Father, that You will continue to minister to those in authority over us who look to You for wisdom and guidance, who name You as Savior and Lord. Keep them focused on what is right, and not what is expedient or popular, no matter the verbal assaults. Stir the American people to understand what is happening around them and to them, for evil is about to overtake. Hold back the full fury of the enemy's hatred, O Lord, lest we perish. May a heavenly hedge of protection surround Your anointed ones, even as we pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.

May it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen ...
