No Exclusions

...for God

   gave us a spirit not of fear

but of power and love

            and self-control.

            2 Timothy 1. 7

(We all struggle with something

               and face difficulties

because we live in a broken world,

        but we need not be defeated.

God shows us how to approach

    and navigate and respond

                   differently

because we are believers

    who follow and trust God.

No exclusions.

"Trust Me in this.

          Follow Me closely.")

O LORD,

Help us to realize that

   it is not in us,

     but You are our strength.

You do not promise us

                  an easy life,

but "Do not fear.

       I am with You."

May our lives be marked

           by Your Presence,

    even in the really hard stuff.

We have but to be faithful to You.

You provide the strength.

You produce the fruit.
