"You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have made." (Job 14:15)
Rejoice - A new day is dawning. Celebrate all the goodness of the Lord. Be glad in spirit and in mind. He is your Creator and allows opportunity daily to serve Him wholeheartedly. Will you accept Him into your life today?

God, thank you for another day. Thank you for the chance to begin life all over again. Take my every move, every thought and every word and make it obedient to You. Use me and begin anew in my heart today. Thank You for new mercies each morning. I love You.
Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
