Good morning, Father! Thank you for the opportunity to minister to Maria this morning. Help her trust you as she experiences her first trial of being bullied by a girl at school. She is afraid to go, so I have her scriptures about fear, and reminded her that Jesus was also bullied because people didn't like Him for no good reason. I explained to her that she will have a lot of that because she is a Christian, and that I experience that an awful lot myself, and it is because people who don't know you are easily manipulated by the enemy.

Thank you for this beautiful new day. Thank you for Mandisa's wonderful words on American Idol last night. What a bold departure for Jesus! Use me in that same way today, equipping me to be bold in your name.

Thank you for continuing to help me grow in your Spirit.

Thank you, also, for the unbelievable amount of student aid for next year. Wow!

I love you.
