| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:09.0 | Our Reading titled, My God is Near, was written by Karen Huang. |
| 0:15.0 | For more than 30 years, Lords, a voice teacher in Manila, had taught students face to face. When she was asked to conduct |
| 0:23.7 | classes online, she was anxious. I'm not good with computers, she recounted. My laptop is old, |
| 0:30.7 | and I'm not familiar with video conferencing platforms. While it may seem a small thing to some, |

| 1:59.0 | Rejoice in the Lord always. |

| 2:05.6 | Let your gentleness be evident to all. |
