TODAY’S WORD…

.

Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord.

.

– Psalm 31:24 (NIV)

.

REFLECTION…

.

We who believe are encouraged,

we are assured that God will never leave or forsake us.

.

He will strengthen our heart – He will animate us;

He will enable us to withstand trial and opposition;

He will keep us from becoming faint and disheartened.

.

The good and the faithful hope in the Lord,

they place their trust in Him,

their hope centres in God.

For them,

any achievement,

any need for themselves and for the good of their family,

anything that will bless the world,

every good thing – only comes from God.

.

But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

.

Hope in God cheers us,

sustains us,

comforts us,

makes life joyful

and instils in us a sense of well-being.

Even death loses its sting,

and our hope helps us face it calmly,

serenely and triumphantly!

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord, You are my Rock, and on You I build my hope;

You give me strength to soar like an eagle.
