Unless the LORD had helped me, I would soon have died. I cried out, “I’m slipping!” and your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. (Psa 94:17-19 NLT)

Prayer: LORD, there have been times when I felt hopeless: I had no hope of joy being in my life again. Thank You for enabling me to look beyond my feelings to what You have given me: hope and joy is in You and from You. Because of this, I am confident that in any circumstance, You will be my hope and joy. Help me trust and rely on what I know is true in You, not what I feel. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
