Here is a passage from Jeremiah that I found particullary encouraging.  May
it bless your day!

Ned


"Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose
heart turns away from the Lord.  He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
he will
not see prosperity when it comes. But blessed is the man who trusts in the
Lord whose
confidence is in Him.  He will be like a tree planted by the water that
sends out
its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are
always
green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear
fruit" (Jeremiah
17:5-8 NIV).
