REMEMBER GOD'S FAITHFULNESS.
CRY OUT TO GOD TODAY.
Psalm 142 ESV I cry out to the Lord; I plead for the Lord’s mercy. I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn….I pray to you, O Lord. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. Hear my cry, for I am very low…The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.”
Jeremiah 29:11 ESV I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Be Bold and Pray With Power.
Father God, Thank you that you call us to yourself when our souls are heavy. Help me to put my trust in your power for tomorrow. Remind me of all the ways you have been faithful in my past. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!
