Lord, it really hurts when I'm knocked down by difficulties in life. Thank You for always being with me and helping me over each hurdle. Please give me strength, and help me to learn the lessons You want to teach me in the hard times. Amen.
(From the "Light for My Path" series)

1 Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalm 103:1-5New International Version
