<b><u>My Devotional Journal</u>:</b> Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Patricia Raybon … AT THIS LINK   … related a story of a wife who was worried because her husband who had fainted twice during a vacation; and even though the hubby was examined by docs on the vacation and when they got home, … finding nothing wrong, …  a doctor finally was forceful to tell the wife that they should  just “Go live Your life;” … and the strong way the Doctor said it, give the wife trust that all was okay in God’s hands.  

As in the linked song and the attached photo, as well as God’s word above which repeatedly declares and promises that God will provide for our needs - even when He seems absent.   And I believe Him; do you?                   

          

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for reassuring me that You’re ALWAYS there to provide for my needs, and not necessarily my desires.     

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join me, …  to trust that You, Lord, are always there with what we need today … and then again, tomorrow.    … Amen
