Greetings from Austin Street

Happy Tuesday!  All is well at 811.

Dear God, It has been quite a day. God, you know all things. Please help me understand your Word and your will for me. Encourage me according to my deepest need. Thank you Lord, for having a name I can call on for everything I need. I love you Lord.  In Jesus name, Amen

God has many names. When we need God’s healing touch we can call on Jehovah-Rapha, “the Lord your healer.”   When we place our trust in the healing God the answer we receive in return is peace. Trust is a relational word. Trust is a way in which we draw near to God. Being afraid is something we all do because it is a very human emotion. It is okay to tell God we are afraid and then in the same breath affirm our trust in God out loud or just in a whisper. The wonderful thing about God is that no matter what, God will receive us and is always accessible to us. When we keep our eyes on God, we will receive comfort, strength and understanding we need. Sleep peacefully knowing that God is guarding and protecting us. God gives us wisdom in all of our situations observing what we cannot and preparing us for what is ahead. Let us give thanks for our God who loves us with an unfailing love who claims us for His own. God is good and love wins.

“The LORD will protect you and keep you safe from all dangers. The LORD will protect you now and always wherever you go.”

Psalm 121: 7-8

Take joy in the journey remembering that hope does not disappoint. Wear comfortable shoes and get some sleep. Love you all, Bruce and Gaylene
