Hymn of the Day
Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love; take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee. Take my life, that I may be consecrated, Lord to thee, take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Readings of the Day
2 Corinthians 4.1-5.10-But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus; sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you.
2 Kings 17-So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
Micah 6-He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Colossians 3.1-11-Set you mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

God's Word of the Day
You need to trust Me. I love you!

Psalm of the Day
I need to trust You.
I'm so confused.
I see people I love, come to my daughter and take away one of the few things she clings to.
Just to justify the management of another person's actions.
In attempts to be fair to all.
What is fairness?
Who says things are fair?
Is it fair that my daughter has a mental illness?
Is it fair that she wants to serve God and can't at times?
What is fairness Lord?
I need to trust You.
I want to strike out with words of revenge and hatred.
I wonder if I should be kind or shout injustice for my daughter.
I don't speak up. I sit in silence acting kind and chatting.
I sin, Lord. I sin in so many ways.
Forgive my actions and forgive my silence.
I need Your help.
I need Your guidance.
I need Your Love and Peace.
I yearn for compassion for my daughter, my family and for me.
I need to trust You.
I am an earthen vessel.
You became an earthen vessel for me.
You know what I'm going through.
You know my frustration and pain.
You lived this for me.
You died for me to show me Life.
You have lived this death of mine to save me.
You are my Savior and Redeemer.
Death is working in me but Life in You.
Forgive me Lord for my exile from You.
Forgive me Lord for my hatred and sin.
Forgive me Lord for my silence.
Forgive me Lord for my thoughts of revenge.
Take this sinful life and kill it!
Take this sin and give me Life.
Take my life and replace it with Yours.
Take me and use me to fulfill Your glory.
Teach me the humble way to live.
Show me how to act in Your Love.
I trust You, Lord!
Teach me to walk in justice.
Teach me to walk in truth.
Teach me to walk humbly with You.
You are my Guide and my Light.
I will follow You.
I trust You, Lord!
I have seen Your kindness.
I trust You, Lord!
I have seen You Love!
I trust You, Lord!
I set my mind on You!
I see Your face of pain.
I see Your face of compassion.
I see Your face of Love.
I see Jesus!
I see Your death in me.
I trust You, Lord!
I trust You, Lord!
I trust You, Lord!
