Christian Reflection and Prayer

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His
mercies never come to an end; they are new every
morning; great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is
my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in
Him." The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one
should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Lamentations 3:22-26

 

The book of Lamentations beautifully reminds us
of how God's graces are new every morning

 

Looking at so many frightening situations, all too
often believers conclude they are alone, or they
may soon find themselves in a position from which
there is no escape and which can never be resolved.
You can understand why with people being martyred
every day, how some of the Savior's followers might
think their personal future -- as well as that of
Christianity -- must be very dark indeed.

 

This is why we need to constantly be reminded that
God's compassion will not fail us.The book of
Lamentations beautifully reminds us of how God's

I encourage you, when you are facing hard times, to
let God know how you feel, and let Him know you are
counting on His help.

 

Maybe we can expand that to read that you are
counting on and patiently waiting for the Lord's
assistance and intervention. Yes, you can do those
things with confidence because God has heard your
prayer. Because of Jesus' sacrifice and victory, the
Lord promises He will respond. That's why Psalm
27:14 gives us this encouragement: "Wait on the Lord:
be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart:
wait, I say, on the Lord."

 

THE PRAYER:

 

Dear Lord, no matter what type of problem or
persecution we meet, may we trust in You. Because
of the sacrifice of the Savior, we can be at peace and
know that Your faithful people may be persecuted, but
they will also be preserved. This I ask in Jesus' Name.
Amen.
