Rooted in the Word

 Take time to read scripture or lyrics to a hymn that you rely upon for support or spiritual guidance. 

 Think and pray about why the words are particularly powerful for you.  Perhaps the power is connected to a particular time and place.  Perhaps one of your mentors or counselors offered it to you when you needed it most.  Or perhaps it was a reading or song that made you stop in your tracks for a while. 

Record your thoughts to be a reminder to yourself that the words are there for you, at your finger tips, the next time your plans and dreams seem to be challenged.   

Scripture: 

Jeremiah 29:11-14  I know the plans I have for you

Psalm 139                You search me and know me

Isaiah 55: 8-9          My ways are not your ways

Oh, Jesus, I have Promised                   ELW #810
