I received this devotion this morning at a time when I felt low, somewhat helpless, and very anxious. I explained to my sweet and dear sister that I was so grateful God used her to speak to me. This devotional message along with a devotion about listening truly helped me release some of the negative emotions I had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some reason this has been in draft mode since October 24,2024 and as we so graciously were asked to share the Good News by Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Nance-Coker; it\u2019s past time to share this with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight in your quiet time I encourage you to read Psalm 61. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be blessed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
