My Rock of Protection

Turn your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock of protection, a fortress where I will be safe. (Psalm 31:2 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Rescue often comes in stages, step by step, miracle by miracle, until the work is done and we bask in the glory of his presence and marvel at the wonder of his deliverance.

Give thanks today:

• We asked God specifically to help us reduce our burden of debt, and God has responded by granting us favor, resulting recently in an agreement that will lead to a dramatic reduction in debt this spring. Praise the Lord!

Pray today:

• For the debt reduction process to move more quickly than expected, to conclude in 60 days or less, and to make it possible to overcome other challenges.

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
