Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
God spoke to his people, Israel, through the prophet Isaiah. He speaks today to all who have come to him, and who believe. Today I pray that God's mercy and peace be felt by all those involved in the conflict in and around Gaza. May God soften hearts and turn energies to good. May human beings, each and every one a part of God's creation, recognize the worth in one another. May they reach out in merciful, loving and thoughtful ways. All this with you, Lord. Please let there be peace. Amen

Isaiah 41:10
Through Isaiah, we hear these familiar words—Don’t be afraid, or Fear not for I am with you. As many times as I read these lines, I often wonder if I could really feel that strong in a desperate situation..

Prayer: Gracious God, May I remember that you are always by my side. This is the strength you offer me. Amen

God loves us and he will help us stand strong and not let…
Isaiah 41:10
Helicopter parents do more harm than good in the bigger picture of their children’s lives. Attempting to eliminate every barrier to success even to the point of always doing more difficult tasks for their child is not a recipe for healing in the face of life’s inevitable disappointments. God is the best model of parenthood. Always being there to strengthen, help and uphold, God sustained people who frequently made choices that were detrimental to them. God does not step in at every whiff of danger or unpleasantness and keep us comfortable and happy at all times. Far more important is that we know deep in our hearts that God is there in the difficult times, providing the emotional…
