Begin each day...begin every day in the personal presence of your Savior, Jesus, who is mighty to save and mighty to save you from the sin of that day.

If you don't feel like it, you probably need to even more. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/unseen-unbeatable-security-5953 2009-11-04T10:32:37-05:00 No more fear of abandonment.
