Worn and torn

Saturday, August 27

From "Daily LIght" the Bible Verse:
"..Uphold my steps in Your paths, that my footsteps may not slip." (Psalm 17:5)

And an excerpt from a prayer written by E. E. Violett, D.D. from Kansas City, MO for a prayer book written in 1916: 
"...constantly save us, Father, lest we should break down under the wear and tear of the world..."

The "wear and tear of the world" chips away at our heart, our mind, our body and our soul.  Fortunately, the Lord walks with us on our life journey every step of the way.  He doesn't just wait at the finish line or sends us a note that says "I'll catch up with you later."  No, He upholds our every step and journeys with us through the "wear and tear of the world."  

If you are feeling worn and torn today, please know the Lord cares.  
He cares deeply.  
May you know of His love and care this day.  
May you bask in His healing strength and sweet, sweet Spirit 
and become renewed and repaired, 

in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (+) Amen.
