Snippet
Discouragement is dissatisfaction with the past, distaste for the present,
and distrust of the future. It is ingratitude for the blessings of yesterday,
indifference to the opportunities of today, and insecurity regarding
strength for tomorrow. It is unawareness of the presence of beauty,
unconcern for the needs of our fellowman, and unbelief in the promises
of old. It is impatience with time, immaturity of thought, and
impoliteness to God. William Ward Today in the Word, April, 1989, p. 18.
Scripture
When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.
“Those who cling to worthless idols
turn away from God’s love for them.
But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord. Jonah 2:7-9
Song
Need You Know Plumb
Well, everybody's got a story to tell
And everybody's got a wound to be healed
I want to believe there's beauty here
'Cause oh, I get so tired of holding on
I can't let go, I can't move on
I want to believe there's meaning here
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
Standing on a road I didn't plan
Wondering how I got to where I am
I'm trying to hear that still small voice
I'm trying to hear above the noise
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
Though I walk,
Though I walk through the shadows
And I, I am so afraid
Please stay, please stay right beside me
With every single step I take
How many times have you heard me cry out?
And how many times have you given me strength?
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
I need you now
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
I need you now
I need you now
Sentence Prayer
Father;
You are always faithful, praise be to you
You are always protective, praise be to you
You are always ruling, praise be to you
I am not always faithful, give me the courage to be more faithful
I am not always protective of the holy, give me the courage to
fight for what’s right
I am not always responsible for what has been given, give me the
courage to use my talents Amen
