Put Your Trust in God

 For the word of the LORD is right and true; He is faithful in all He does. (Psalm 33:4 NIV)

 Prayer: Lord, we all face disappointment in our lives, often more than once, and it can feel so defeating, so difficult, so discouraging. It can lead us to despair and lack of hope.

 But, Lord, whenever we face this disappointment when we find that our lives aren’t on the path that we planned or that different things have come up that have changed everything and will change our future, help us not to despair, help us not to be disappointed, but rather to look to You, to know that You are there, that You love us, that You care for us, that You have our best interests at heart.

 You are present in our darkest times, not just when everything is going well but when things are deeply difficult. Help us to put our trust in You, Jesus.

 Help us to put our love in Your hands and our hearts in Your hands and to know that You will carry us, You will take us through, that You will bring us through this dark time, that the valley of the shadow of death is not forever.

 Give us faith to trust You, Jesus. We love You. We need You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. Thank You, Lord. —P. Amsterdam [1]

 The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘O God, help me.’ —Billy Graham
