There is power in God's word.

As we turn to scriptures appropriate for specific needs, we find that God speaks to us and encourages the patient. He offers us hope, courage, peace and direction. He covers us with the cleansing, purifying gift of forgiveness, while pouring out His grace and mercy to bring us comfort and wisdom.
