Observation - Valleys in my life have not been as deep as some experience. God is always with me. God is with everyone if they are willing to recognize that He is there with them. With God's help and with scripture as the rod and staff to direct me in my journey, there is little need to worry.
Application - Recognise that God is there with you always. God is good all the time! We have what we need to help us on our journey. Fear Not!
Prayer - Lord, so many times I don't see you here with me, I try to tackle life by myself and stress over it. It affects me and my relationships. Please help me see you and use your word that you have provided to help me along the way.
Yield - to scripture and the presence of the Lord
