WE NEED JESUS ALL THE TIME

"Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,"

Psalms 17:8
King James Version

Fanny Crosby wrote the beautiful hymn " LEAD THOU ME". I'm so glad we can trust Jesus to lead us and protect us.

"Savior, let me still abide In the shadow of Thy wings; Let me all my sorrow hide, In the joy Thy mercy brings; Draw me, keep me day by day, Nearer, nearer, Lord to Thee; All along my pilgrim way, O my Savior, lead Thou me.

To the cross my soul was brought, To the cross, with all its grief; There a healing balm I sought, There I found a sweet relief; Yet for deeper love I pray, Love that clings alone to Thee; All along my pilgrim way, O my Savior, lead Thou me.

Let me trust Thee more and more, Let my will and Thine be one, Till my warfare here is o’er, Till the victory I have won; In the light whose blessèd ray Shining down, by faith I see, All along my pilgrim way, O my Savior, lead Thou me."

I think we sometimes make our own problems when we try to do things without first asking Jesus to help us. It is time we allow Jesus to help us and then we won't have so many problems and heartaches.

Thank You, Jesus, for caring about us and for helping us when we are discouraged and feel like going to bed and staying there. Please help us to stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us.

I love You, dear Jesus, and look forward with joy and happiness to the day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face,. Thank You for dying for my sins and for all You do for me every day. Especially thank You for never leaving me.
