Book Cover & Preview Text
God Gives Me Strength God gives me the strength, courage, and ability I need, To do His work and to succeed. All of my days are written in His book. All of my sins on the cross He took. I love to pray each and every day, For favor, wisdom, and the will to obey. I pray for peace of mind, and for His grace, No matter what troubles and trials I face. I am more than a conqueror through Christ Who Lives. I am blessed beyond measure because He forgives. God is my source and He's still on the throne. I am truly grateful that I am His own. Yes, God gives me strength, His Word is my guide. Every one of my needs, He will provide.

When Tomorrow Comes
When tomorrow comes, I’ll look back on today and say, I knew it would be different from today and yesterday. And I’ll remind myself of how far I have come from where I used to be. I’ll tell myself that trust in God is all it’s meant to be. I’ll say, “Thank You Lord for the trials you brought me through” And I’ll thank God for His faithfulness in spite of my doubting too. I’ll repent of my sins and change my sinful ways. I’ll remember God’s promise to heal and forgive with praise. I’ll always treasure this day because I know that as I pray; When tomorrow finally comes, it will always be today.About the Author
