Today’s Reflection: who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. II Corinthians 1:4 NKJV

Heavenly Father, no matter what circumstances I find myself in, I pray that You will fill me with Your peace and joy. May my lips, my words, always be full of Your praise. May my lips, my words, be used to edify and build up others, not tear them down. Guard my thoughts and my tongue. Help me always to speak Your Words in love. Teach me to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s prompting and guidance. Show me when and how I am to speak and when I am to remain silent and pray. Be my diary keeper and fill my days with divine appointments where You use me to love and encourage others. May I never be so self-absorbed in my own pain, trials, and circumstances that I neglect to see the needs of others and reach out where I can. In Jesus’ Name Amen
