Good News for a New Week

I stood in form the mirror and brushed hair, teeth, thoughts from my mind. But the worries keep coming as I consider a new week.

If that doesn't work out . . . what then?

If I really can't do it . . . what then?

If something happens . . . what then?

I quietly whisper a prayer and it seems my heart hears a response that begins with those same two words:

"What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?" Romans 8:31-32

The sentences that follow say I'm more than a conqueror and nothing can separate me from God's love.

I breathe deep of grace, love, victory, hope that's secure.

And I can dare to walk into a new week with my heart held high.

Dear Lord, help me to understand, as I am in prayer and waiting for a leading from You, when it is time to take action. Help me to be wise enough to recognize the answers to my prayers when they come in ways I was not expecting. Give me the knowledge of Your will that lets me know when it is time to stand up and take steps of faith. Amen.

Have a super Monday!
I know it is sometimes hard to do, but trust in the Lord!
Blessings,
