Meet Me in prayers of confession and humility; I will not reject you, for I am your Redeemer, and I will complete each work in your heart as you join with Me in agreement.

May you be blessed by the Lord with kind words of cheer so that you may lift anxious hearts which weigh down others as you see them today. Proverbs 12:25
