My Devotional JournalToday’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Marvin Williams -  AT THIS LINK  related a  story of a flight attendant who noticed an obviously anxious passenger, and took it upon himself to gently attend to her anxiety (see photo) as long as its took to quell her fears. And the story illustrates what we Christians have in us, i.e., the Holy Spirit, to give us the strength and direction to help others through the anxieties of life.    


And if my readers today have heard the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures shared above, I’m praying we all are bolstered by God’s Spirit in us to go forth with God’s Spirit leading us and lifting us up.             


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me the opportunity to serve others with Your help and guidance, Lord.           

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to do all we can to rely on Your Spirit, Lord, to help others … maybe today.         Amen
