Tomorrow morning at 10am I will be following a request of my Mom — helping my parents with some personal business.

Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

 I have requested prayer from a lot of my friends for peace and strength.

Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you;  He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

I don’t know how people “do” life without Jesus.  I cannot imagine going through life hopeless — void of the Holy Spirit.  


John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Even through my tears, I lean on Him.  He is my ever present Help.  My Strong Tower!  

This is a serious time with my parents and even though I feel such sorrow for them and the condition of their health, I still have the joy of the Lord.  

Nehemiah 8:10
… Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Do you have this joy?  This peace in the midst of the storm?


This morning as I drove to intercessory prayer, I felt grieved over my Mom and Dad.  I asked the Lord to change my perspective so that I would focus on being thankful because He has made a “way” where there seemed to be no way.  He lined up everything and will continue to order our steps.  He is faithful.

I pray God would help all of us focus on Him and not on the circumstances around us.  

Psalm 29:11
The LORD will give strength to His people;  The LORD will bless His people with peace.
