Be of Good Cheer, Daughter...

 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.—Matthew 9:20-22

Oh Father!  I believe!  Help my unbelief!  I am never a fool when I put my trust in You. Oh help me to trust You to the uttermost.  Help me not to fret in the trials you allow in my life, but to know that Your unfailing love will be with me and will never fail me through each and every one. You are the same yesterday, today and forever.  What You did for me yesterday in my fear and in my need, You can do again today.  My times ARE in Your hands. 

Oh Lord to whom shall I go? You and You alone have the words to eternal life. “My flesh and my heart fail, but You are the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever”.  I can never ask from You “too” much...I can never expect “too” much.  You are the God who says, “I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it”. 

“The larger your expectations of God, the better, for according to your faith it will done unto you.”—Spurgeon

The Lord is my Keeper.  He is my shade at my right hand.  He will preserve my soul.  Ending with portions of Psalm 84: 

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,

Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca,

They make it a spring;

The rain also covers it with pools.

They go from strength to strength;

Each one appears before God in Zion.—Ps 84:5-7

For the LORD God is a sun and shield;

The LORD will give grace and glory;

No good thing will He withhold

From those who walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts,

Blessed is the man who trusts in You!—Ps 84:11-12
