O Lord, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised.

- Psalm 119:169

Right now, whatever you are going through, God knows.

But, sometimes, when dealing with heartache, disappointment, and ongoing trials, we forget that God still has a plan for our lives.

Perhaps, He is teaching you something, growing your trust, or keeping you safe from a bad situation.

Trusting Him when He removes something we want and desire can feel challenging.

But you can believe that He is working all things for your good!

So turn all your thoughts of doubt, fear, and resentment away. Guard your heart and mind against those things that draw you into negative thoughts, questioning God.

Above all, God wants your faith and courage. He wants you to trust Him with all of your life, especially those things that are most dear to your heart.

Face each day with the hope that comes from knowing your loving Savior. Ask Him to guard your heart and mind so that nothing sways you from Him!  

With Love,
Sherry Shepherd
