“I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” ~ Psalm 27:13-14
Sometimes we are tricked into thinking that we have hope only in eternity, and this life is only filled with hardships. The truth is, we can see the goodness of the LORD in this life, as well as the life to come if we pray and believe and wait on the LORD. Sure there will be obstacles and hardships, that’s unavoidable, but we are also promised the good along with the bad. It won’t just be all bad; wait upon the LORD and seek Him. When you seek Him with all of your heart, He will answer.
Heavenly Father, there are many of Your people who may be somewhat disheartened with life. LORD, please minister to these needs today. Heal sick bodies, restore broken relationships, give favor and success to those who are job hunting, and give wisdom to the businessmen and women. Father, bring hope to the hopeless situation. Bring joy and peace to turmoil.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
