A Personal Story for Thursday, 6/11/26
“In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8 NIV
Many years ago, when my son was a baby, I found a long snake skin in my home on two different occasions. I prayed this verse over and over every night until I fell asleep. We lived in this house for nine years and never saw a live snake. The Lord kept us safe. This is what I learned:
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.” Psalm 56:3-4 NIV
In His Love, Cindy

I bet you also didn’t find many mice. Most snakes are as good a mouser as any cat! God is good!

Unfortunately, I had to catch mice in traps. I had never lived in conditions like this before, but this is where I learned to trust the Lord! Yes, God is good! God bless you today, Pastor Pete! 🐭
