Oh! Father, we all face this day, enemies coming our way whether they are in our relationships or in reality or our own faulty reasoning. Our thoughts war against us; our friends too~don't even know it.
Give us eyes to see You fighting for us. Send help; send support (Psalm 20:2). SOS.

But I am poor and needy;
hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!
Who is needier than me? I keep asking and wondering, doubting myself. I throw myself on His mercy over and over. Praises to God for his unfailing mercy, patience and understanding. I won't ever understand it, but I accept the Grace, thankfully and humbly as I begin another week. Love you, precious Pearls. Let us whisper prayers for each other on this rainy Monday.
