Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ~ Romans 12:12 Prayers continue for all those affected by the hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
When your feeling anxious, lonely, discouraged, or afraid, please never lose hope! Instead, pray this— Dear God, please help me to find hope, despite my circumstances and how I feel. My situation is not hidden from Your eyes. You are all-knowing, and all-loving. I ask you to give me the assurance I need to know that I can get through this moment, this hour, and this day. I refuse to feel hopeless and helpless. I declare today . . .
Shock, disbelief, and fear gripped my heart! I watched helplessly as our house filled with smoke knowing that my dogs were still inside. Never was the Human-Canine Bond more evident than when I experienced a house fire! My husband had been relocated and was house hunting in another state, so I found myself all alone. Well, not really. I had my dogs! The story I'm about to share reaffirmed how incredibly powerful the human-canine bond is in helping people deal with stressful events.
