Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step.
Naeem Callaway

For every teardrop, for every sleepless night, God has a new day filled with blessings for you.

Dear God, Make still my doubters, the haters, those people who disparage me. Fill my life with supporters, lovers, and good souls who exude
encouragement and joy. Praised are You, who surrounds me with persons of character.

1 Peter 1:7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far
more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when the Redeemer is revealed to the whole world.

"DIGITAL" HOW TO PRAY

1. Your thumb is nearest to you. Begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct, and heal, the teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are vulnerable, in trouble, or pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. Lastly comes our little finger, the smallest finger of all, which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you, the last shall be first." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective, and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.

FEELING UNWORTHY

Hello, everyone, I would appreciate your prayers for healing from the seemingly unbreakable feelings of unworthiness that I struggle with and the shame and false guilt that come from them. Thank you, and God Bless.
