God protects us from knowing some challenges ahead,
because He knows we have a strong instinct for self-protection.

"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord
rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord
you will receive the reward of the inheritance.
It is the Lord Christ whom you serve."
Colossians 3:23-24

Prayer only works when we go to Him. The same rules apply
as with people: Be honest, listen well, and have a humble heart.

"The Spirit also helps our weakness: for we do not know
how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself
intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words."
Romans 8:26

Nothing escapes the Lord's sight, and He will work all things
for His glory. Just hang tight and watch Him do His thing.

"Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;
according to the greatness of Your compassion blot out
my transgressions....Against You, You only, I have sinned
and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified
when You speak and blameless when You judge."
Psalm 51:1-4

compassion, and whatever gifts He has given you.
Not a moment of your life is wasted in His book.

that we may present to You a heart of wisdom."

and go and encourage someone today.
