Psalms 139:1-4; 17,18; 23,24 {NIV}
1. O Lord, You have searched me and You know me.
2. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar.
3. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways.
4. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord.
17. How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18. Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
23. Search me, O Lord, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

And You Thought You Had It Bad?
Joshua 24:13
13. And I have given you a land for which you did not labour, and cities which you built not, and you dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive yards which you planted not, do you eat.
Duet. 6:10-11
10. And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which He sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which you built not,
11. and houses full of good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you digged not, vineyard and olive trees, which you planted not...
I think it's time we gave some serious thought to the phrase, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Truly God is a generous and loving god who has my and your best interest at heart. Let's give Him the praise and all of the glory. In the name of Jesus.

A Prayer For Those In Trouble
God, You stand with us in times present; You carry us through many hardships; You shield us from danger over and over again.Thank You, thank You for allowing us to lay our needs before You now.We are asking for Your help, Father, we are perplexed and afraid. We do not know which way to turn.You, Holy Spirit, helps us in our weaknesses. You search our hearts and answer our petitions that we bring before You even when we do not know what to pray. God, we seek the courage to face all situations before us. We ask for wisdom to see the way that is right and the strength and courage to take that way. Lord grant us the strength to endure. We know that You will not allow us to be defeated; we know that we can be victorious through You. We pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds. Through Christ we pray. Amen.
