There is even space for you to jot down your own prayerful reflections around the day’s word.

Goodness
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. —Psalm 23:6 KJV
When I was a little girl, this verse made me very nervous. I thought there were two little old ladies, Shirley Goodness and her friend Mercy, who were going to follow me everywhere!
Imagine my relief when I learned my mistake. Years later I learned that the original Hebrew word translated as “follow” really means “chase.” Sometimes when I’m feeling sorry for myself, or when I’m unable to forgive myself for a wrongdoing, I think about being “chased” by goodness and mercy. God loves me so much that He sends them out to pursue me. He is merciful toward me when I am not merciful toward myself; He sends goodness to me and instructs it to hurry up! —Michelle
Thank You, Lord, for sending Your goodness to me—for pursuing me with Your mercy. Amen.
Centering your prayer and praise around a single word each day will prompt you to think outside of the box. Your prayer time will be more focused, rich, and energized. Only available through Guideposts. Don’t miss this chance to try it today!
