From Psalms 2, 32, 62, 92, 122, & Proverbs 2
=============================
Today, it may seem that rulers and kings think nothing about the needs of a nation--your needs? The laughter of God mocks the mocker. God at the same time plans the evil doers' future.

God claims you as His son or daughter. Ask of Him what you want and He will bless you and yours even to the ends of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Blessed are you all by taking refuge in Christ.

If you've been putting off asking for forgiveness because you feel ashamed, God already knows and He's just waiting for you to ask for forgiveness. Jesus proclaimed with His last breath, "It is finished." And then you were at that very moment in time forgiven, as if it was today He declared you clean and pure. Take His gift of mercy He holds out for you to reach for.

The Lord is the safe place for hiding from those that tempt you to sin or worship false idols. Go into His hiding place and you will be protected from trouble. Sing unto the Lord songs of worship that lead you to deliverance.

Today, if you woke up worried and heavy with the burden of sin, repent, rejoice and be glad for you are forgiven. Prayer has always been easy for you. It's just like a conversation with a friend, don't take it out on yourself if the day get's away from you and you haven't prayed for the day. Satan will torment you if you allow him to.

Stop. Take a long deep breath in to the count of 6-8seconds. Hold your breath to the count of three. Let your breath out very slowly to the count of 6-8. Now, praise God for His loving forgiveness, and pray for today and start praying for tomorrow.
