But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope.
The steadfast love
of the LORD
never ceases.
His mercies
never come to an end.
They are new
every morning.
Great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3. 21-23
(God says,
"If you remember anything,
remember this:
I am with you."
Our hope is not
in circumstances,
but in Him.
His steadfast love
and extreme mercy
have no expiration date.
He has given each of us
a chronicle of His faithfulness,
past, present and future.
On that we can depend.)
O LORD,
Bring to the surface
of our thoughts,
infiltrate our despair,
banish our worries,
by calling to mind,
not just what You do,
but who You are.
May the tune
of Your faithfulness
be on a continual loop
in our hearts,
making us responsive,
not anxious,
to our situation today.
