I Trust

O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me. (Psalm 13:1, 5, 6 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Spiritual warfare is a constant in the Christian life, at times leaving our emotions raw like the Psalmist, but we are anchored in God's unfailing love which assures us of his rescue and provision in his timing, not ours.

Pray today:

• For each battle to be fought on our knees in prayer, for emotions of fear and worry to be consumed by God's love, for trust to grow from victory to victory, for rejoicing over God's rescue whether in the past or yet to be, whether now or later. 
• For rejoicing and singing flowing from our hearts because God is good to us.

Pray for the top three needs of Emmanuel College:

• To continue reducing our debt over the next five years with the purpose of becoming debt-free.
