The Wisdom of the Proverbs:

The Encouragement of the Psalms:
Psalm 40:11-12 (NLT)
11 LORD, don't hold back your tender mercies from me. Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me.

The Hope of the Old Testament:

The Gospel Message:
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NLT)
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.
4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
Observation:
There is so much in these passages of scriptures to chew on this morning.
But God, when we can invoke the name of our heavenly Father, there is always hope, and help is just a prayer away.
Do you have something to thank God for today? Do you have a prayer to pray to our heavenly Father? He is patiently waiting to hear from His beloved children.The lines to God are never busy, and they are toll-free.

3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'

13 Please, LORD, rescue me! Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
