By your grace, I will not despair. I believe that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Only when we have done all we knew to do can we wait by faith for God to do what only He can do.

At this moment, God is watching your life and at some point in this trial, He will say enough. You don't need to falter.

What you hope for determines what you live for. What you hope for determines WHO you live for. Hope misplaced can devastate you.

If He wasn't going to use that hard thing for your good, it wouldn't have happened. He had to sign off on every single thing that touches your life.

The core of humanity's sin problem is not a horizontal behavior to be corrected but a Vertical relationship to be restored.

When we worry, we are telling God, "You are neither trustworthy nor in control, so I need to worry and scheme as I take matters into my own hands." In this way unbelief drives worry, for it is impossible to worry when we are trusting in the provision of our sovereign God.
