Lamentations 3:1-3 I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord’s wrath. He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.
Lord, Sometimes life is difficult, painful, and senseless. Sometimes it feels like You are making us walk alone, in darkness rather than light. Those are the times that You are calling us to trust You unequivocally, to not question, to not try to understand, just to trust You. Help me, Jesus.
Lamentations 3:21-23 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lord, I don’t like those times, don’t like being afraid or anxious, don’t like not understanding the why of life. Help me remember that this life is not about me. It’s about You. Help me to trust You. Always.
Lamentations 3:24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
Lord, Thank You for being with me even when my feelings try to tell me You aren’t there. My heart knows You will never leave me, especially when I need You most. That’s trust, Lord. It’s there. I do trust You. Help me to trust You more each day. Amen.
Lamentations 3:25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him….
Have a blessed day.
