As Jacob did in Genesis 28, I like to remind myself each morning when I awaken that God is here, in this place, present with me (v.16). As I spend time with Him each morning, reading His Word and responding in prayer, it reinforces my sense of His presencethat He is near. Although we do not see Him, Peter reminds us that we can love Him and rejoice in His love for us with inexpressible, glorious joy (1 Peter 1:8).
We take the Lords presence with us all through the day, blending work and play with prayer. He is our teacher, our philosopher, our companionour gentle, kind, and very best friend.
God is with us wherever we go. He is in the commonplace, whether we know it or not. Surely the Lord is in this place, Jacob said of a most unlikely spot, and I did not know it (Gen. 28:16). We may not realize He is close by. We may feel lonely and sad. Our day may seem bleak and dreary without a visible ray of hopeyet He is present.
Amid all the clamor and din of this visible and audible world, listen carefully for Gods quiet voice. Listen to Him in the Bible. Talk to Him frequently in prayer. Look for Him in your circumstances. Seek Him. He is with you wherever you go!

Our Flag Flying Proudly One Nation Under God
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Lord, Please Bless Our Troops, They're fighting for our Freedom.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation UNDER GOD,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
Prayers going up.
One assumption that is 100% Fact - God Love Us All.
In!
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
IN!
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." -from THE BIBLE: Ephesians 4:31-32
