The Lord will accomplish that which concerns me;Your [unwavering] lovingkindness, O Lord, endures forever—Do not abandon the works of Your own hands. Psalm 138:8
Dear Heavenly Father,
We are thankful for your love and limitless mercy toward me. What a gift every morning that your mercy is renewed. I can start each day motivated to fulfill your purpose in my life. It is a blessing that I can walk empowered, energized, and focused on your assignment of my hands. Thanks be to God for your plans of peace, good wishes of health and prosperity for my life.
As I stay focused on you, peace comes. It surrounds me and brings calm to every fear. I’m ready for the next step because you have prepared me. I can walk in confidence in this.
Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit [your graciousness, unselfishness, mercy, tolerance, and patience] be known to all people. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].
Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you.
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains.

Reflecting on this singular blessing brings peace to my heart and mind. We are not alone. My Creator and the Creator of everything is walking with you and me. When we listen for His voice, he is leading the way through dangers seen and unseen. He stands ready to provide the help that we need to make it to the next step.
