The Joy of the LORD is Your Strength

Let us pray and converse with our LORD as we wander through each day together with HIM. Think of HIM walking along side you, sitting in the seat next to you, or sitting at the table with you. How would you talk to him then? Let each of us practice the presence of JESUS. Tell the LORD about everything, yes HE already knows, but HE loves for you to talk to HIM as you would to a dear friend. May our hearts be full of joy and praise for our LORD. Think on these things:
