Joyful

But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God. (Psalm 146:5 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Present circumstance may be difficult and the future may look bleak, but think of the Lord and his merciful, miraculous provisions for us in the past, and sustaining joy will flood our present and fill our future. 

Pray today:

• For registration for next semester to be strong, for a record-breaking number of new students to enroll.
• For current students to return, more than expected, especially those who may be discouraged, for them to find hope and resolve in Jesus, for them to pray and work hard to succeed, for financial resources to be available.
• For hope to be high, for joy to be full because the Lord is helping us and will help us, for students, staff, and faculty to reach out to him for help as needed, and regardless of stress and trouble, to be joyful in the Lord. 

Pray First! Pray Through!
