We Can't Help But Sing This Song

 

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.
