Anna,
Thanks for sharing you story with us! It is always encouraging to hear how God is at work in our lives! We are praying for you and your family! Ps 121 is one of my favorites, and like you, has gotten me through some really tough times in my life. Thanks again for sharing! Keep your eyes on Jesus

These articles are truly helping me! I haven’t really been feeling the spirit lately so I’ve been searching for something to remind me how awesome God is. These devotions have stood out, and I think they will stay with me. Many readers are sharing stories so I’ve decided to also. A few months ago I had a major spinal operation to correct scoliosis. My family and I had been anticipating this surgery for 5 months and I started getting pretty scared a few weeks before the big day. In addition to me being scared, a few days before my surgery everything seemed to crumble. My parents got in a huge fight (considering divorce) and we’re not in speaking conditions. My sister has always been the wild child but she did something pretty horrible 2 days before the surgery(Saturday), so on top of my parents not speaking to each other, my parents weren’t really speaking to my sister either. I was really scared then, and felt alone. But I got on my knees and prayed on that same Saturday and asked got to help me and to help my family. I looked up tons of bible verses trying to find one that really caught my heart. (Psalm 121 turned out being the one that comforted me and brought me to tears). After everything, all four of us still went to church that Sunday. (We wouldn’t have (considering the tension) if it weren’t for my operation) All four of us ended up on the alter together, crying, and praying. My family was brought together, and then brought together even more the following week when I was in the hospital. God really does listen, and answer our prayers in the most amazing ways.

one secret of gratitude i’ve learnt is that the more u thank God in the face of trials and setbacks,the more ur joy and courage(strength) to move on with God.That’s why the devil will always want hinder God’s children from being gratful

Thank you i really needed to be reminded about Thankfulness today. I forget quite often about just how richly i am blessed. I want to share with you something that happened to me this past year that helps me remember to hang in there and cling to God. And to stay strong through the storm and ride it out. I pray that it dose the same for you. About a month ago or so, i was sitting at a computer at the library during a study hall. (So you can better understand my story let me give you some important details.) I live in Ohio and the wheather here SUCKS! The computer i was sitting at was near the HUGE wall of windows that on a normal sunny day the sun would be pouring in through. But that day it was cloudy, and the weather wasn’t supposed to clear up the rest of the week. I was felling really down that day, and sitting there at the computer i cried out to God! After i as i prayed, the clouds seperated and for just a momment the sun shined through and warmed my face. Then the Lord gentaly and sweetly whispered upon my heart this quote, “Even though the skies are cloudy, the sun still shines.” I just about started crying right there in the middle of the library! Through the sun He revealed to me that even when the “skies” of life seem cloudy and there just dosen’t seem to be any hope. The sun still shines, behind the clouds the sun is there. That is God’s love, He is the sun in all of our lives that continually shines. God is always there He is never not. I hope that helped all of you. Be Blessed,

God will really make a way where there seems to be no way!!!
He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for us.
He will be our guide, hold us closely to His side.
With love and strength for eah new day, He will make a way.

hmm.. I want to start my list of things to thank for by thanking God for leading the cursor of my mouse in this site. Lately I’ve been having a difficulty in our house that really affects me. But God used this site to be an encourager for me as I overcome my trial. By the way, this is my first time to leave a comment on an article… I guess it’s not an accident.. More blessings!!! I pray that many girls would be encouraged also and be blessed through you just what I’ve experienced…
