The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue, Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. Lam 3:22-23

Hope in Him

Relying too much on our own knowledge, strength and resources may lead us to disappointments and failures. That is when we should realize our inability and acknowledge independent attitude as a mistake, and willingly surrender to the unfailing mercy of God, which forgives and supports us in our times of need. The prophet who underwent unbearable situations held on to the infinite mercy of God: “Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing: The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue, Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope” (Lam 3:21-24). May we never loose hope by remaining depressed, but remind ourselves constantly of the definite mercy of God, that flows continuously to heal us.

 

Abba, thank You for giving us hope by showing us Your mercy. Let Your Spirit unceasingly remind us of your loving kindness, in Jesus’ Most Merciful Name, Amen.
