Worry

Good morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it!

When I stepped outside earlier, the crescent moon was getting low in the eastern sky, getting ready to disappear for a while, and washboard clouds were about to cover it. For those who don't know what a washboard is, they are kind of ripply. All the mocking birds and squirrels are busy already and the driveway is getting covered with acorns once again, so fall is almost here.

The Park looks lush, overgrown and green with all the rain we have had. I did not see many water fowl around, and few people were there, but it was a beautiful morning and most of the afternoon. God is good!

From the Promise Bible NLT:

Who can help me when I grow weary?

Psalm 68:35 God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!

Psalm 145:14 The Lord helps the fallen and lifts up those bent beneath their loads.

Isaiah 40:29-31 He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted, and youn men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Jeremiah 31:25 I have given rest to the weary and joy in the sorrowing.

The Lord is the source of our rest and strength. When we come to him in praise, he refreshes our heart, mind, soul, and body. We release the burdens of life and draw strength from our Lord.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving , joy and love.

Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
