WHEN I asked for Strength......And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong. I asked for Wisdom......

And God gave me Problems to solve. I asked for Prosperity....And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work. I asked for Courage......And God gave me Danger to overcome. I asked for Love...........And God gave me Troubled people to help. I asked for Favors.........And God gave me Opportunities. I received nothing I wanted ........I received everything I needed!

1. FEAR NOT FOR GOD IS WITH YOU

Beneath Gods watchful loving eye Small and weak we stand, you and I. But we need not fear the perils around When beneath Gods wings we're found When troubles and sorrows come our way God will work them out if we pray. Just trust Him, He'll guide you ore And help you stand, with His mighty hand. Remember it's darkest before the dawn Don't be discouraged, keep going on. Soon the light will break through And His love will surround you. Into each life some rain must fall There's mountains for us all. There's always another cross to bare But remember Christ will always be there.

MY DAILY PRAYER If I can do some good today, If I can serve along life's way, If I can something helpful say, Lord, show me how. If I can right a human wrong, If I can help to make one strong, If I can cheer with smile or song, Lord, show me how. If I can aid one in distress, If I can make a burden less, If I can spread more happiness, Lord, show me how.

A lthough things are not perfect B ecause of trial or pain C ontinue in happy giving D o not begin to blame E ven when the times are hard F ierce winds are bound to blow G od is forever able H old on to what you know I magine life without God's love J oy would cease to be K eep thanking God for all the things L ove imparts to thee M ove out of "Self Complaining" N o weapon that is known O n earth can yield the power P rayer can do alone Q uit looking at the future R edeem the time at hand S tart every day with worship T o "thank" is a command U ntil we get blessings V ictorious in the sky W e'll run the race with gratitude X pect from God most high Y es, there will be some bad times and there will be some good, but... Z zzz peacefully at night... you're in the care of God!

Don`t Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you`re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low And the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must but don`t you quit.

What if...? God couldn't take the time to Bless us today because we could not take the time to thank Him yesterday... What if...? God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today... What if...? God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day... What if....? We never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the rain... What if...? God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others... What if...? God took away the Bible tomorrow, because we would not read it today... What If...? God took away his message because we failed to listen to His messenger... What if...? God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to prepared to pay the price of sin... What if...? The door to the church was closed because we did not open the door of our hearts... What if...? God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him yesterday... What if...? God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service... What if...? God met our needs the way we give Him our lives...

This is the beginning of a new day This is the beginning of a new day. GOD has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or grow in its light and be of service to others. But what I do with this day is important, because I have exchanged a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. I hope I will not regret the price I paid for it.
