You'll enjoy its honest, conversational, and poetic approach as Valerie candidly shares her heart, her fictional & non-fictional stories, poems, and devotionals. Each one is intertwined with little discoveries she has made about God from His Word, from living everyday life with Him, and from quiet moments spent with Him. She encourages every reader that God greatly desires to connect with each and every one of us ā showing us who He is and who we are in Him. So come on in! There's a place on the sofa saved just for you. *** Donāt worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience Godās peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.ā Philippiansā¬ ā4ā¬:ā6ā¬-ā8ā¬ āNLTā¬ā¬ You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiahā¬ ā26ā¬:ā3ā¬ āNLTā¬ā¬ Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you wonāt even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! The Lord says, āI will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalmsā¬ ā91ā¬:ā1ā¬-ā16ā¬ āNLTā¬ā¬ Bible.com
