My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author , Xochitl Dixon  AT THIS LINK - writes her family visiting the place in only place in the USA where four states come together in one place (see photo), … and the family joking about how one family member could leave the other by going into another state so easily,    

But then the ODB author showed - thru God’s word and His promises (see Scriptures above) - that our God’s comforting presence is with all believers … ALWAYS.   And I’m praying here today that all my readers know of God’s comforting presence in the hearts of all true born-again Christians.  Do you sense God’s presence today?   I do as I delve into God’s word; and i can encourage you that He’s with you … IF .. you believe in and follow Him.                                         

My THANKFULNESS:<.. Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for being here in my heart today … and tomorrow ,,, and ALWAYS.     

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, …to rest in Your presence, Lord.   … Amen
