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 . . .

Yesterday is Past

Yesterday is past, with all its troubles and heartache. Look forward to the day ahead. Rejoice in the Lord always, for He is good ... yes, always good! Accept any lingering pains from yesterday, last month, or even last year with joy, knowing that God is working ALL things for your good. He loves His children and would do nothing less . . .
