My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Leslie Koh … AT THIS LINK       … showed how a rock climber had to learn to let go and trust the weight and strength of the climber’s coach, who was tethered to the climber with a rope, as an illustration of how God promises to give His strength to His chosen ones when they (we) feel unable to hold on in life.    

And if my readers have taken in the linked song and the Scriptures above, I’m praying that we all are willing to trust that our God will protect us when we lose our grip on life at times.  He certainly has shown His strength to hold and protect me when I have become weakened in life.   How about you?  

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for holding me up, Lord,  when I lose my grip.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again today, Lord. … as trust in You, Lord, when we can’t hold on any longer.    … Amen
