Yesterday afternoon i was feeling a bit tired, so I lay down for a nap. I expected to sleep for an hour or so...then i woke up 4 hours later! Not only that, but i surprised myself by still sleeping 8 hours that night!

Here are some things I have read in my daily bible reading lately, things in God's Word that I am standing on in faith...

All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits – the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Roll your works upon the Lord – commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and so shall your plans be established and succeed.

Psalm 145:14-16,18-19 –
The Lord upholds all those of His own who are falling, and raises up all those who are bowed down. The eyes of all wait for You – looking, watching, and expecting; and You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand, and satisfy every living thing with favour. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, He will also hear their cry, and will save them.
