Today's Encouragement

"Believing is a simple thing. It's a hard thing for us to get there, but it's really a simple thing. It's telling your heart 'yes' and believing it." Pastor Alan Walker

"You have to guard faith. You have to guard hope. You have to guard belief. Because the enemy is always there always to discourage, and he wants to rob, steal, and destroy. That's his job. But it takes work sometimes. ... We're a work in process, and we can't let down our guard. And we give the enemy an inch, and he takes a mile. And before you know it, you're overcome instead of overcoming evil with good." Kathy Walker


Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God. * Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear. * For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

Jacob said to his household, ... "Let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone." * Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. The pains of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. Then I called upon the name of the Lord.
