Thanks Lord

Many of you know that I was at the doctor this week several times. This isn't abnormal, just a part of the normal week. I just wrote about the prayer shower that was held for us. I also told you about the book we received with everyone's prayers inside. On Monday I was able to sit down and pray all of those before going to the doctor. It was such a sweet reminder of how faithful the Lord has been to put friends/family in our life at this time. I've also been reading through the O.T.-slowly but surely. As I was laying on the doctor's table for a while I decided to continue my reading. Isn't it funny that when we put our eyes on the Lord we have peace, understanding and comfort. When we are focused on ourselves is when anxiety, unbelief and worry come in. I believe the Lord gave me Isaiah 43 that day. It was perfect timing and stilled my heart, thank you Lord:

But now, this is what the LORD says—he who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,

they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

10 "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,

"and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you.

You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God.
