Don't forget about Joshua.

In the midst of all my current feelings of discouragement and disappointment in humanity, the Lord reminds me of the very verse that made me love Him all this summer: Joshua 1:9.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

I know You are with me. I feel Your presence every minute of my day. I know that these feelings of negativity aren't from You but from Satan. Rid me of these thoughts, and create in me a clean heart.

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Joshua 1:8

Help me to follow and obey Your laws. Not that I would only read your Word at night before I go to sleep, but that it may be with me throughout the whole day. I need Your encouragement right now..
