The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?
Psalm 27:1
When I was prosperous, I said, “Nothing can stop me now!”
Your favor, O Lord, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
Psalm 30:6,7
So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.
John 16:22
O God of mercy, forgive our stubborn and prideful hearts. So often, when our lives are easy, we forget to thank you. Yet, when our hearts are broken and we feel lost, we remember you and seek your guidance and strength. Shepherd of our souls, increase our dependence upon you. Grant us faith to declare, “It is well with my soul.” Amen.
