Encouragement for Today

All day long, whether you realize it or not, the world is trying to influence you. Some of it may be good, but unfortunately other things may not be so good. The great part is, though, you don’t have to face these influences or pressures on your own. Your help comes from the Lord and you can turn to Him at any time, as many times as you need. You are not in this alone. When you need help go to Him and let Him guide your thinking, and you can be certain He will work out His will in your life. So, stand tall, hold your head high, and turn your attention from the things of this world to God, and allow Him to work in your life. You will be so glad you did!
