"When I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me 
the strength I need."  Psalm 138:3

Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayers!  You give comfort and strength, reminding me that I am never alone.  I can walk forward with confidence, knowing that you are by my side, guiding and encouraging me. On the days when I feel I can't carry on and that I don't have the strength to move, I cry out to you and you carry me.  Thank you for your compassion and for rescuing me when my spirits are crushed.

In Jesus' name, amen
