"Encourage my people!
Give them comfort."

SUMMARY SENTENCE
It's good to know that God welcomes people like us and even has an encouraging word.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for your warm welcome and encouraging words. Forgive us for thinking of you as stern and aloof. Give me an encouraging word to say about what you're up to -- and the wisdom to know when and how to speak it. Because you're in charge of my life I'm going to encourage those around me in the name of Jesus. Amen.
