Everything is possible for him who believes. Mark 9:23

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failures" is not the falling down, but the staying down"  Mary Pickford

Yesterday I told my husband that I was feeling discouraged. He shared with me the following scripture: Lamentations 3:21-24...Therefore I have this hope. The LORD's loving kindnesses indeed never ceases, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him."

Today is a new day; a new beginning.  When it seems hopeless-it is not! When all seems lost, there is more to be found.  I do my part with all my heart. Then I wait and wait with joyful expectation. I cast my cares on the LORD (Psalm 55:22) and then leave them there. With all the faith I can muster I trust Him.  With open hands I wait to receive God's best for me as I let go of the outcome I desire and just trust Him to give good things to me. For it is written: No one has heard, no ear perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. (Isaiah 64:4;1 Cor 2:9)

Never ever give up! Keep your focus on Who God is not on your circumstances.

It would be my privilege to pray for you. Please let me know if you have specific prayer needs.
