The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.
From Philippians 4:6: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
F. B. (Frederick Brotherton) Meyer (1847-1929) was an English pastor, evangelist, and Christian writer. He was heavily invested with inner city mission work in both his native country as well as the United States.
Another day
Another mountain
Faced with challenges
Finding wisdom’s fountain
Another day
Another unknown
Faced with emptiness
Finding one stepping stone
Another day
Another low tide
Faced with little hope
Finding tomorrow’s guide
Another day
Another question
Faced with mystery
Finding next suggestion
Another day
Another sunrise
Faced with certainty
Finding life’s clearest skies

While God will bring encouragement and show us an open door of opportunity, we need to take the necessary step forward.

Ideas come from everything.
Fear isn’t so difficult to understand. After all, weren’t we all frightened as children. Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the Big Bad Wolf.
Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) was an English film director. He directed over 50 films during his distinguished career.
With element of mystery
Father’s divine plan evolves
Man imprisoned with transgressions
Faithful mercy shall resolve
Always leading with light of hope
Each treasured gift to embrace
Journey fulfills Father’s glory
Righteousness surrounds man’s space
Topped off with Father’s steadfast love
Filled with purpose in His name
Deliverance as He promised
Spirit igniting faith’s flame
Everything shall work together
Father forgives, lifting man up
Justified by faith, through His grace
Sharing His wisdom close-up
Tomorrow’s appointments scripted
Each written in Father’s hand
Choose to follow His Holy Word
Trusted guidance as He planned

So we are to live and move and have our being in God, to look at everything in relation to God, because the abiding consciousness of God pushes itself to the front all the time.
From Psalm 25:12: “Who are they who fear the Lord? He will teach them the way that they should choose.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
Movie’s final scenes
Waiting for chilling finish—
Eyes lowered . . . the end!
Water hole ahead
Bag’s cache of balls—down to one!
Errant, groaning splash
Endless highway miles
Welcoming faithful landmark—
Blessed home sweet home
