Monday, September 29: In every season, God, You are faithful
Key Truth
"In every season, God, You are faithful."
Verse
Lamentations 3:19-24
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
20 I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
Prayer
Father, we thank you for your faithfulness in every season. We choose to look above the chaos of the news, our disappointments, and our fears. Instead, we embrace hope because of your never-ending compassion and faithfulness. Whatever this moment holds, we surrender it and wait expectantly to see your goodness in the middle of our circumstances.
