There are times when we just can’t go on, fighting the good fight just wasn’t enough. There are days when we can’t understand why nothing seems to be right But everytime, we go down on our knees, suddenly we hear a voice as we pray, telling our hearts that all we need is to be still and remember that help is on the wAy. The lord is our savior, he ia our strength, he is the beginning and the end. He laid his life so all of our sins can be forgive, this is how Jesus loves us all. Still there are moments when we dont really know How to follow his will just how to keep still. Oh Lord we pray that you would guide us and lead us back when we have gone astray.
