Daily Strength

When He giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? – Job 34:29

None of these things move me. – Acts 20:24

I’ve many a cross to take up now,
And many left behind;
But present troubles move me not,
Nor shake my quiet mind.
And what may be to-morrow’s cross
I never seek to find;
My Father says, "Leave that to me,
And keep a quiet mind."

—ANON.

Prayer for South Carolina

Father, please be all of those at our Capital today. Regardless of the stances of each of those there, those watching from home, this doesn't turn violent. We as a people need more compassion, forgiveness, and consideration of others. Please touch us all to not allow the actions of Dylan Roof accomplish his plan and those of others that continue to spread hate. Father, please bless us with your grace and power of forgiveness. In Your precious Son, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen! #1sc #weareallGodschildren

I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee. – Isa 42:6

O keep my soul, and deliver me: for I put my trust in Thee. – Ps 25:20

I do not ask my cross to understand,
My way to see;
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand,
And follow Thee.

Love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. – 1 John 4:7

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel (or "complaint") against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. – Col 3:13

Oh, might we all our lineage prove,
Give and forgive, do good and love;
By soft endearments, in kind strife,
Lightening the load of daily life.

Be ye kind one to another. – Eph 4:32

She doeth little kindnesses
Which most leave undone or despise;
For nought which sets one heart at ease,
And giveth happiness or peace,
Is low-esteemed in her eyes.
