Grant and I were both fortunate to receive the aid of first responders; however, the Lord is my ultimate responder. His faithfulness is shown by placing people in our paths to demonstrate His love at our greatest time of need.

Grounding Scripture – Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand.”

Prayer – Lord, I am thankful for the ability to remember the first responders which You put in my life. I recognize Your faithfulness in the hugs, encouraging words and love that I have received from others. I affirm that You are my ultimate responder and I give you all the glory. AMEN
