We can always approach God with boldness because we are safe in His presence. He invites us to come and we can be sure that He will answer. Boldness is not pride or arrogance. It is a knowing that we are loved and accepted and free to ake our requests to God. He accepts us.

We are asked to trust in the Lord, not to understand everything He is doing or allowing. His way is better and higher. He alone sees all and knows all. He is always good and does what is best even with our mess.

No matter what we face, the peace of God is ours. He has already told us that we will have trouble but He has already told us and given us all that we need to face the trouble. He is our peace, joy, hope and strength in it all. We can rejoice because He is our victory.

God wants us to speak to each other in ways that preserve and bring out the best in each other. May we speak with love and grace. May we be conscious of our words in every situation so that we may please God.

We carry the light of the Lord in our hearts. He wants us to draw attention to ourselves as we live for Him. Our light is to shine. Do not hide. Be bold and brave.

Whatever we give to God, He can handle. He will sustain us with His strength.

God is pleased when we come to Him in faith with our prayers. He promises that when we diligently seek Him, we will find Him. He does not get tired of us coming to Him. This is what He wants. This is what we need.

We are chosen by God to walk in His light. We are special to Him. He wants us. He will always be calling us from dark places to experience His light.

God reaches into the deep and way above. There is no where that is out of His reach. His hand can meet us wherever we are and make a difference.

When Jesus rises and speaks into our situations the result is the flow of His power and gift of His peace. We need that.
