Through Prayer

"Great God of all glory and thou my Lord Jesus Christ, I beseech thee to
illuminate me and to dissipate the darkness of my spirit, to give me a
pure faith, firm hope and perfect charity. Oh my God, grant me to know
thee well and do the things according to thy light and in conformity with thy
most holy will. Amen." Prayer for the Day

"Lord Jesus, today I believe in You and ask You to come into my life. I agree
with John 1:12 that when I believe in You and receive You into my heart, You
will give me power and accept me into Your family. I need to know I am
accepted and that I belong to You. Thank You for keeping Your word. Amen."

"God of our fathers, you led your people out of Egypt to the Promised Land:

journey. Give us faith to respond to you, and to go out to life with the
confidence that comes from trusting you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen." Prayer for the Day

Put a Song in Your Heart

A SHELTER IN THE TIME OF STORM
The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide, A shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever may be tide, A shelter in the time of storm;
A shade by day, defense by night, A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes affright, A shelter in the time of storm;
The raging floods may round us beat, A shelter in the time of storm;
We find in God a safe retreat, A shelter in the time of storm;
O Rock divine, O Refuge dear, A shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our helper, ever near, A shelter in the time of storm.
Refrain
Mighty Rock in a weary land, Cooling shade on a burning sand,
Faithful guide for the prilgrim band - A shelter in the time of storm.
SDA Hymnal #528

Through the Experience of Others

"True faith lays hold of and claims the promised blessing before it is realized
and felt. We must send up our petitions in faith within the second veil and let
our faith take hold of the promised blessing and claim it as ours.
We are then to believe that we receive the blessing, because our faith has hold
of it, and according to the Word it is ours.

'I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours.' Mark 11:24 NIV

"The very time to exercise faith is when we feel destitute of the Spirit. When thick
clouds of darkness seem to hover over the mind, then it is time to let living faith
pierce the darkness and scatter the clouds." EW page 72

"We may not feel today the peace and joy which we felt yesterday; but we should
by faith grasp the hand of Christ, and trust Him as fully in the darkness as in the
light." MYP page 112
