MARCH 21ST

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



GOD'S PRESENCE IS EVER BESIDE YOU,
AS NEAR AS THE REACH OF YOUR HAND.
YOU HAVE BUT TO TELL HIM YOUR TROUBLES,
THERE IS NOTHING HE WON'T UNDERSTAND.



YOU WILL SHOW ME THE PATH
TO LIFE, FULNESS OF JOYS IN
YOUR PRESENCE, THE DELIGHTS
AT YOUR RIGHT HAND FOREVER.



PSALM 16:11



TODAY CONVERSE WITH GOD
AND ALSO LISTEN TO HIM.





HOPE SAYS,
"NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I FALL,
I WILL STAND AND START AGAIN."
FOR A PERSON OF HOPE
IS NOT ONE WHO NEVER FALLS,
BUT ONE WHO PICKS HERSELF UP
ONE MORE TIME THAN SHE FALLS.
UNKNOWN



COMFORTING WORDS FOR A WEARY HEART,
A BALM THAT SOOTHES THE SOUL,
HOPE IS A HEALING MEDICINE
THAT MAKES US STRONG AND WHOLE.
UNKNOWN



PEOPLE OF HOPE
ASCEND HILLS
AND MOUNTAINS
OTHERS HAVE DECLARED,
"IMPOSSIBLE."
UNKNOWN



HOPEFUL EYES LOOK UPWARD,
PENETRATING THE THICK BLANKET OF CLOUDS
TO THE CLEAR BLUE SKIES BEYOND.

STREAMS IN THE DESERT
DAILY THOUGHTS FROM
THE DEVOTIONAL CLASSIC
by MRS. CHARLES E. COWMAN



WE MUST GO THROUGH
MANY HARDSHIPS TO ENTER
THE KINGDOM OF GOD...



ACTS 14:22



THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE COME OUT
OF WOUNDING. WHEAT IS CRUSHED
BEFORE IT BECOMES BREAD. HUMAN
NATURE SEEMS TO NEED SUFFERING TO FIT
IT FOR BEING A BLESSING TO THE WORLD.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



IF YOU ARE PRAYING FOR SOMETHING
AND GOD IS NOT ANSWERING YOUR REQUEST
WITH A "YES," ASK WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH
IN THE MEANTIME AND GIVE YOURSELF TO THAT.
IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT GOD MAY NOT GIVE YOU
WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR EVENTUALLY, BUT IN
THE MEANTIME YOU WILL BE DOING GOOD WORK.

-JAMES MONTGOMERY BOICE-



I WILL GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD;
HIS LOVINGKINDNESS ENDURES FOREVER. I WILL
GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HIS UNFAILING LOVE
AND HIS WONDERFUL ACTS TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN,
FOR HE SATISFIES THE THIRSTY SOUL AND FILLS THE
HUNGRY SOUL WITH GOOD THINGS.



PSALM 107:1,8-9



GOD IS MY STRONG FORTRESS, AND HE SETS THE
BLAMELESS FREE IN HIS WAY. HE MAKES MY FEET
LIKE THE FEET OF A DEER; HE ENABLES ME TO
STAND ON THE HEIGHTS. HE TRAINS MY HANDS
FOR BATTLE, SO THAT MY ARMS CAN BEND A BOW
OF BRONZE. YOU GIVE ME YOUR SHIELD OF VICTORY;
YOU STOOP DOWN TO MAKE ME GREAT. YOU BROADEN
THE PATH BENEATH ME, AND MY FEET HAVE NOT SLIPPED.



2 SAMUEL 22:33-37



THE LORD IS MY PORTION; I HAVE PROMISED TO
KEEP YOUR WORDS. I CONSIDERED MY WAYS AND
TURNED MY STEPS TO YOUR TESTIMONIES.



PSALM 119:57,59



I WILL DEVOTE MYSELF TO PRAYER,
BEING WATCHFUL IN IT WITH THANKSGIVING.



COLOSSIANS 4:2



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOODNESS AND UNFAILING
LOVE AND FOR BEING MY STRONG FORTRESS.
I AM DEVOTED TO KNOWING AND FOLLOWING YOU.

MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE
WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS!
IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY,
AMEN.
