Hope.

Thank You Lord.

Sleep. Rest. Songs. Smiles. Hope. Mm, yes. Thank You for the hope we have in You.

(7:49 a.m.)

Father God, how grateful I am to be Yours. To have You and Your Word on and in which to turn. And stand.

Reading Your Truth to Jeremiah (17:5-10 Wisdom from the LORD) I am smiling. Trusting. Believing You at Your Word. Thank You, Lord.

Turning over to 1 Peter 1:3-7, I center in while poring over more promises. The Life Recovery Bible The Hope of Eternal Life verse 6. “So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while.”

Hoping in and standing on Your promises Lord. That’s where I ask (Matthew 7:7) You to continue turning my attention.

“But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence” (Jeremiah 17:7). Yes, please!

I want to be “like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit” (verse 8).

Oh dearest God. Keep the leaves of my heart green. That I truly never stop producing fruit for You!

Use us as You know is best. Rejoicing. Being glad (Psalm 118:24b). Loving as You would have us. You, others, and ourselves. With all of our hearts, souls, minds and strength (Mark 12:30-31).

Yes Father. Do all You must to Your good and perfect end. We love, need, trust and want You. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
