Encouragement for Today
Welcome to a place where you can find encouragement for your daily walk with God!
My Prayer for You
I lifted your name to the Father
And asked Him to bless you today,
I asked Him to guide and sustain you
Each step of your heavenward way.
I mentioned your needs to the Father
And asked Him to amply provide,
I asked Him to show you His goodness
That always stays close by your side.
I spoke of your work to the Father
And asked Him to richly reward,
I asked Him to prosper your service
That honors our Savior and Lord.

How Many Times?
How many times have you painted the sky?
How many times taught a bird how to fly?
How many times have you sculpted a wave?
How many times carved a canyon or cave?
How many snowflakes and clouds have you formed?
How many diamonds by pressure transformed?
How many roses and violets designed?
How many stars have you lit and aligned?
…
Across the Line with Jesus
When someone draws a haughty line
And says it’s “us” and “them,”
We’ll see across the line they made
That Man from Bethlehem.
He always reached the lost and lone
And healed the sick and lame;
He saved the sinful, raised the dead,
And bore their guilt and shame.
So when we feel like being glad
We’re better than “that guy,”
Let’s stop and think what Jesus did
And tell our pride goodbye.

I’ll Carry It Today
Dear child, you know I love you,
I care about your tears,
I want to bear your burdens
And calm your doubts and fears.
This load that you’ve been wearing
Is far too big for you,
But I will gladly take it
If you’ll just trust me to.
I’m strong – it will not hurt me,
I’m wise – I’ll understand,
I’m kind – I want to help you,
I’m good – so trust my hand.

The Gift of Song
You put Your song within our hearts
The day we came to You,
A song that echoes from above,
Well known yet ever new.
Your song gives voice to happy times –
A fountain of delight,
Expressing all our wordless joy
When things seem good and bright.
It brings us hope through troubled days
And comfort in the night;
Like healing balm it gives us life
And leads us to the light.
…
Divine Contrasts
The Lord is far above us,
And yet He’s very near;
His glory fills the heavens
Yet makes our pathway clear.
The heavens can’t contain Him,
And yet He dwells within;
He needs no approbation
Yet loves the praise we bring.
His wisdom fills the ages,
Yet guides us as we pray;
He’s changelessly eternal
Yet cares for us each day.
…
Psalm 100
We raise a joyful noise to You
Our Maker, Shepherd, Guide
For endless mercies ever new
And truth that will abide.
We come to serve with cheerful song
And hearts that overflow,
Rejoicing that we each belong
To One who loves us so.
Within Your courts we lift our voice
And bless Your holy Name;
In thankful praise our hearts rejoice –
Your goodness we proclaim.
…
Lord, Give Me Words
Lord, give me words so I can praise
Your worthy Name, I pray,
For You are holy, good, and kind
And care for me each day.
Lord, give me words so I can lift
The weary soul to You,
For words can comfort, heal, revive
When gracious, kind, and true.
Lord, give me words so I can point
The lost to life above,
For Jesus died and rose again
To offer saving love.
…
Only for a While
The wicked sometimes prosper,
But only for a while –
Swift judgment is awaiting
Their final, careless mile.
The godly sometimes suffer,
But only for a while –
The Lord Himself is waiting
To turn it to a smile.
So do not be discouraged
When things seem upside down,
Though patient, God is working
And soon you’ll wear a crown.
