Reassurance

In this temple of God’s creation, I feel his gentle hand upon me
I feel his gentle grace, his love surrounding me

Dawn of Hope

Crouched in fear
Shivering in cold
Unable to see
An unknown future

Prayer Journey — Trust

You have been placed here at this time, this moment in history. You are uniquely qualified for God’s plan for your life.
