One Thousand Gifts (continued)

"The eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love" (Psalm 33:18) 

When you don't know what to pray for anymore, or how to pray, the Spirit intercedes on our behalf.

When you feel disconnected, the LORD brings us back to Him and reminds us that He never left us nor will He ever leave us.

When you feel empty, He fills us up again.

When you lose hope, He reminds us of His promises and His unfailing love.

 Continuing to give thanks...
