Psalm 63:1-4 – O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. (NIV)
I cannot remember a time in my life when I didn't need or call on Jesus. Many years ago, I fell backwards in my kitchen and had a very bad fall. Hours later, I lay on my hospital bed and received the diagnosis that I had broken my neck. God had been there that day to catch my fall and to save me from sudden death because He had a plan and work for me to do. When my daughter was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and depression, He carried us through that, too. When my son's marriage ended badly and he hit rock bottom, God helped me to be there to support my family when they needed me most. Today, I rejoice in God's goodness, grace, and mercy for the many times in my life that He has allowed me to share what He has done for me and my family, and I will never cease to thank Him with my whole heart.
Like any solid relationship, being a faithful follower of Jesus Christ takes work. It's like growing a plant from a seed to maturity, watering it every day and carefully pruning and tending it until it grows strong on its own. Being a Christian is something like this: we are either a faithful follower of the Lord Jesus Christ or we are not. If we know Him, we will love Him and follow Him to the end — a faithful follower we will be. He is there for Christians in sickness, in health, in our joys, and in our sorrows. He is with us at all hours of the day or night.
Jeremiah 29:11-12 – "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." (NIV)
Isaiah 40:31 – But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (NIV)

Prayer: Gracious God, we thank You for the many times that You have helped us through the most horrendous of situations. In the name of our Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen.
