his merciful love couldn’t have dried up.
They’re created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He’s all I’ve got left."(Lamentations 3:22-24)
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies. Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits.(James 3:1-5, NRSV}

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.(Eleanor Roosevelt)

Be Encouraged by God's Word:
The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.(James 3:17-18, NRSV)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
May you live every day of your life.(Jonathan Swift)
Pray Together with Us:
Dear Father,
May your spirit give me wisdom

and find pleasure in obeying you.(Philip Law)
Be Encouraged by God's Word;
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.(James 4:7-10, NRSV)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Power can do everything but the most important thing: it cannot control love.(Philip Yancey)
Pray Together with Us:
Deep peace of the shining stars to you;
Deep peace of the gentle night to you,
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you;
Deep peace of Christ the light of the world to you;
Deep peace of Christ.(Scots Celtic Prayer)
