Verses: Matthew 5:3-6 (NIV)

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

Father God, may our spirits be lifted and our hearts be healed.  May we be courageous and without fear as we face life’s challenges.  May we trust you, both physically and spiritually, for our daily provisions.  Amen.
