    I read this this morning and The Lord made me think of you. I’m praying for you!
    “The LORD
    is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of The Lord forever” (NLT)

    He gives me all I need. (v1)
    He lets me rest. (v2)
    He leads me. (v2)
    He renews me. (v3)
    He guides me. (v3)
    He keeps me company. (v4)
    He protects me. (v4)
    He raises me up. (v5)
    He honors me. (v5)
    He pursues me. (v6)
    He will spend eternity with me. (v6)

    Hugs!

    Praising God today that you can find even smidgens of joy. Thanking Him for His witness through you that He is able, even in the midst of horror, to provide comfort, peace.
    With Habbakuk I hear you saying

    Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
    Yet I will rejoice in The Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He enables me to go on the heights.

    Your choice to
    Praise Him
    In the midst of crisis
    Encourages me
    And
    Pulls me up higher
    In my walk
    With the
    Lord.
