Refreshing Opportunities
19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
Psalm 100
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.

his faithfulness continues through all generations.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

Psalm 23

for his name...
