Morning Scripture
(16) “David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground. (19-20) When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.” So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate.” II Samuel 12:16, 19-20 NKJV http://bible.com/114/2sa.12.16,19-20.nkjv |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things - for reminding us that even in our disappointments and our heartbroken moments, we are to trust you because you love us. Help us to focus on you, not our sadness or our worries. Remind us that they are a part of us but do not define us - so that as we journey into a new year and new circumstances, we are not strangled by the past, but empowered through Your strength. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise; Amen. |
