00:00Before you focus on how far you still have to go,
00:03remember how faithfully God has carried you so far.
00:06Psalm 121 verse 2 says,
00:09My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
00:14We have reached the middle of November.
00:16Take a moment to look back.
00:18What has God brought you through this month?
00:21What have you learned?
00:22Where have you seen his kindness?
00:24Perhaps there are still unanswered prayers.
00:27Perhaps there are challenges you hoped would be over by now.
00:30But don't let what remains undone erase the goodness you have already experienced.
00:35God has been your help.
00:37He has carried you through days you thought would be too difficult.
00:41And he will continue to guide you.
00:43Let's pray.
00:45Father, thank you for carrying me through the first half of November.
00:49Help me recognize your faithfulness and trust you with everything still ahead.
00:53Amen.
00:54The same God who carried you this far will be with you in the days ahead.
