A little encouragement to get you through midterms/ Mini finals.

Morning Blessing: May you cherish this truth: The Lord is your very dear and precious Shepherd. In Him, you have everything you need. He’ll lead you to still waters and sacred spaces to restore your soul. He’ll lead you in paths of righteousness for His Namesake. Even when you walk through the deepest valley, He’ll be right there with you, close beside you. He’ll correct and direct, guide and provide, and He'll never forsake you. He’ll establish you and honor you in front of your enemies. He’ll anoint your head with oil and fill you to overflowing. His goodness and mercy will chase after you all the days of your life. God invites you to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of your life.
