When we desire to know, understand and carry out Your Will for us. We can be sure that You will provide all we need and more. It is a wonder why? That from time to time, we fall back into anxiety and fear when new unexpected challenges arise. All we ever need to do, is come into Your presence through prayer and quiet; Your peace will be upon us as You lead the way.

When we are exhausted and in need of nourishment, let us hear You call out to us “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened; I will give you rest.” Coming into Your presence through prayer and quiet
; Your peace will be upon us as You nourish us with Your living Word. Great is Your Love that no matter how persistent we are in our prayers, for our wants and needs. You patiently and lovingly answer them all. Even at times when the answer is No! Thank You Jesus for all that You are and all that You do. Glory and praise be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen

When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and I he began to teach them many things
