Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
January 17

When you need to calm your emotions, stop and turn your attention to God. Lord, I know that You are my help right now and will show me simple answers to what seems complicated and impossible.

Scripture for the Day
"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock." — Matthew 7:24-25

Meditation for the Day
With God's help, I can build a protective screen around myself which can keep out all evil thoughts. I can fashion it out of my attitude toward God and my attitude toward other people. When one worrying or impatient thought enters my mind, I can put it out at once. I know that love and trust are the solvents for the worry and frets of life. I can use them to form a protective screen around me.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that frets and impatience and worry may not corrode my protective screen against all evil thoughts. I pray that I may banish all these from my life.
