"There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off." Proverbs 23:18 (NIV)
|

I cry out to the LORD; I pray to the LORD for mercy.
--Psalms 142:1
You can talk to God because God listens. Your voice matters in heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter his presence, he turns to you to hear your voice. No need to fear that you will be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you have to say impresses no one, it impresses God, and he listens. He listens to the painful pleas of the elderly in the rest home. He listens to the gruff confession of the death-row inmate. When the alcoholic begs for mercy, when the spouse seeks guidance, when the businessman steps off the street into the chapel, God listens.
--Max Lucado (exerpt from The Great House of God)

The LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.
(Psalm 32:10)
|
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39
|
No, I will not abandon you as orphans-I will come to you.
John 14:18 NLT
Jesus seems to have an especial love and affection for His orphaned and comfortless people. Christ seems to delight to lavish His deepest sympathy on "Him that has no helper."
--John MacDuff
For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you.
Deuteronomy 4:31)
|
Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.
(Matthew 5:4)
...I WILL FEAR NO EVIL, FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME.
(Psalm 23:4)
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destoyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
(Hebrews 10:39)
|
Lord, give us grace to trust You when
Life's burdens seem too much to bear;
Dispel the darkness with new hope
And help us rise above despair.
-Sper (Our Daily Bread; March 08, 2006)
