June 30/10

Ok Lord, I thought you and I had conquered my problem with this move on Sunday; however, yesterday it sure didn't seem that way. I really don't know how to describe yesterday, except that I was a mess! It started after breakfast and continued throughout the day. I think a lot of it was having to say good-bye to a lot of people I don't know if I will see again; however, it is deeper than just that, Lord. I just don't know how to describe it. All I know is thanks to friends telling me that everything was going to be alright - now I have peace. Thank you Lord for friends who care enough to encourage me. I am not used to that. I am usually the one encouraging others, so I am not used to the one being encouraged. Thank You.

What about you? Do you know someone who needs encouragement today? Do you encourage others on a regular basis? If not, why not? It's not hard. You can make someone feel better. Isn't that worth doing? Lord, help me to be an encouragement to someone today!

Or, is it you that needs to be encouraged? Do you have a problem that is getting you down. Hopefully, you have a friend who cares enough about you to encourage you. If not, you have access to the greatest fiend and the greatest encourager anyone could ever have, Jesus. He wants to encourage you today, but you have to listen for it. Lord, help me to hear the encouraging words that you have for me today. I don't know what I would do without You, Lord...thank You.
