It has always been comforting to know that the Lord watches over us. I can recount many times when I’ve been kept from harm and I’m sure there have been many times that I have been unknowingly protected,

We might say I’m good if asked how we are. Do we need help? No I’m good. Or it’s all good.. The speakers point being that only God is good and we should be reserving the word good for God. God is good!

I am thankful for God’s faithfulness. May I remember and give praise.

I am struck that while Jesus, upon hearing of the death of John.desired to be alone, instead focus’s on the needs of the crowd who was following him.

David’s request that God bring an end to violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure is a request that seems apt for our times as well. Praise God for his righteousness.
Kristina I will continue to pray for God’s comfort for you and family.

It reminds me of the adage garbage in garbage out.
I am thankful that God cares for us that he hears us that he is always there. We just need to seek and be guided.

He was merciful to Moses by listening and then granting help by putting the spirit on 70 elders.
I am thankful for Jesus’s instruction on how to pray. Including the elements has helped in my own prayers.

In reading Mathew today I was imagining listening as Jesus spoke the beatitudes. I think I would have come away with much comfort and hope and wanting to hear more.

To prayerfully consider the choices I make in a day.
I had forgotten that the blessing often given in church came from the the Lord’s instruction to Moses.
