The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trust in him, and he helps me.  Psalm 28:7

Lord, so many times we are tempted to give up.  Life is just too hard, and we cannot do it on our own.  Please give us the inner strength to keep on going.  We long to do your will.  Thank you for keeping your promises--all of them, all the time.  We trust you for your help, hope, love and healing as we walk through this life together.  In your holy name, Amen
