I remember my daddy's arms. "Carry me, Daddy," I would plead in my five-year-old little girl voice. It was a long way home--and we had no car. Little legs would only work so far--and Daddy knew that. His strong arms would pick me up and carry me the rest of the way home. He's home now--with the Lord--but I still remember Daddy's arms...

"Abba, Father," I cry. "Carry me, hold me, help me. I can't go another step further." And those strong arms of my Heavenly Father pick me up and carry me home, into His very presence where I am safe, I am secure, I am loved. His arms are there for you today--whatever your need. Reach out--and you'll find His arms already open, waiting to hold and love you, to carry you when you can't go one step further. He's our Heavenly Father--and "underneath are the everlasting arms." Believe it--and have a great day!

Prayer: "Lord, I can't go a step further without Your help today. I need to feel Your arms around me, carrying me, holding me, telling me that everything's going to be ok--because YOU are in charge. Help me feel Your special love--and your sacred arms--this day. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
