"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;  do not be discouraged,  for the  Lord  your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 Dear Father, You, Father, are our one strong God who is above all in and in all and through all. May we be drawn ever closer to your glory through your Son. May we always look to you for courage and strength in this troubled world. Although we try to rely on ourselves, we fail.
