"For who is God except the LORD? And who is a rock besides our God?--the God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe. He made my feet like the feet of a deer, and set me secure on the heights." ~Psalm 18:31-33 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. How can we get strength to be effective and to accept responsibility? By asking God for the strength we need each day. I has been proven in countless lives that for every day we live, the necessary power shall be given us. We can face each challenge that comes to us during the day, sure that God will give us the strength to face it. For every task that is given us, there is also given all the power necessary for the performance of that task. I do not need to hold back. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may accept every task as a challenge. I know I cannot wholly fail if God is with me. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
