Will God really help me? There are so many others and I'm not that good. Does he really care?
Is there any hope in life? |

"And I said, "My strength and my hope Have perished from the LORD
Remember my afflicction and roaming,
The wormwood and the gall.
My soul still remembers
And sinks within me.
This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed
Because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion (satistfaction),"
says my soul,
"There i hope in Him!"" -Lamentations 3:18-24 |

Then you will call to Me. you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear you. When you look for Me you will find Me. When you wholeheartedly seek Me, I will let you find Me, declares the Lord. I will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I've scattered you, declares the Lord. I will bring you back from the place where you are being held captive |

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."

"For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance."
-Romans 8:22-25 |
