Verse Mathew 9:2:
The Lord called the prophet Jeremiah to cease from his distrust, and to return to his work. If he attended thereto, he might be assured the Lord would deliver him from his enemies. Those who are with God, and faithful to him, he will deliver from trouble or carry through it. Many things appear frightful, which do not at all hurt a real believer in Christ.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help me remember what a difference it makes when I make time with You a priority in my morning.
Awaken me in body and spirit each day with a desire to meet with You and to hear You speak words of affirmation, assurance and wisdom over my heart as I prepare to go into my day.
Father, show mercy upon the people getting affected due to Hurricane Florence. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
