for today

Courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to do the thing we fear.

I feel, in spite of all the promises of God, as helpless as a worm today? There's a special word, too: "Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you" (Isaiah 41:14, NIV).
(the above is excerpted from Elisabeth Elliot)

I may be exhausted and overwhelmed with all there is to do; however, God is in control. He will give me the strength and power to make it through. And while the prayer I utter is "Please, Lord, Help me!" He hears and knows. He knows what I need and knows all the issues. I can rest in Him and let Him lead.
