Write In His Light

Remaining Hopeful! (verses)

Psalm 119:147

I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry
 for help; I hope in Your word.

Lamentations 3:21-36
21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.
 22 Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,
 Because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new
every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 24 "The
Lord is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope
 in Him!" 25 The Lord is good to those who wait for
 Him, To the soul who seeks Him. 26 It is good that
 one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation
of the Lord. 27 It is good for a man to bear The
yoke in his youth. 28 Let him sit alone and keep
silent, Because God has laid it on him; 29 Let him
 put his mouth in the dust-- There may yet be hope.
 30 Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes
 him, And be full of reproach. 31 For the Lord will
 not cast off forever. 32 Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion According to the
multitude of His mercies. 33 For He does not
afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.
 34 To crush under one's feet All the prisoners of
 the earth, 35 To turn aside the justice due a man
Before the face of the Most High, 36 Or subvert a
 man in his cause-- The Lord does not approve.
