| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:10.3 | Our reading titled Strong and Good was written by Patricia Raven. |
| 0:16.3 | The young campus minister was troubled, but he looked conflicted when I dared to ask if he |
| 0:24.5 | prays, for God's direction, for his help. To pray as Paul urged without ceasing. In reply, |

| 1:59.6 | May we give thanks to him because he's strong and good. |
| 2:10.0 | Today's Our Daily Bread Devotional Scripture reading is from Psalm 118, verses 13 through 14, and verses 22 through 29. |
| 2:21.5 | I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. |
| 2:28.0 | The Lord is my strength and my defense. |
