My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Marvin Williams AT THIS LINK …    relates a story of a pregnant woman diagnosed with a liver condition who decided not to be hospitalized during the COVID pandemic, trusting in God; … and was rewarded in that trust with a healthy delivery.  

There are so many things in life which can cause us to be stressed or anxious, … especially in this pandemic and with all the dark and threatening things we face these days.  But if we can fix our minds and hearts on God’s repeated promises to give His peace to those who trust in Him (see Scriptures above), we can - AND WILL - find His strength to deal with the stresses of life. 

i come here every morning to start my day by covering myself with God’s word and receiving His promises of peace and strength, which He gives me thru His word to lift me up for my day.  How do you find Gold’s peace each day?       

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me the empowering grace of Your strength thru Your word again today.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to plant our roots of faith deeply in Your truth, Lord, again today.      … Amen
