Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
September 7

Kindness can accomplish what force won't. Lord, may I pause when I am about to react to irritations and respond as though it is You to whom I speak.

Scripture for the Day
"But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, to tell of all your works." — Psalm 73:28

Meditation for the Day
"God is our refuge and underneath are God's everlasting arms." Sheltering arms express the loving protection of God's spirit. In our troubles and difficulties, we need nothing so much as a refuge, a place to relax where we can lay down our burdens and get relief from our cares. We can say to ourselves: "God is my refuge." We can say it until its truth sinks into our very souls. We can say it until we know it and are sure of it. Nothing can seriously upset us or make us afraid, if God truly is our refuge.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may go each day to God as a refuge until fear goes and peace and security come. I pray that I may feel deeply secure in the haven of God's spirit.
