Scripture:  O righteous God, Who searches the minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure. Psalm 7:9

Thought: As we look around our community and our world, it is very easy to become discouraged and to lose hope. Where will it all end?  The future does not look bright. There does not seem to be much hope.  But one songwriter penned these words: “I’ve read the end of the book – and we win!”

Prayer: Lord, as I look around us today, I see that discouragement abounds. Help me to light a candle for someone and bring a little hope into the life of one person who is discouraged. Let Your light shine through me today. AMEN

Challenge: Look specifically for someone who looks discouraged today – say or do something to make their day better.
