“So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10 NIV

Lord Jesus, I believe You are alive.  I believe You are ever-present and working in the world.  I believe no matter what circumstances I face, You are good.

I believe You weep, mourn, and rejoice with us.  I believe You are my God and my Redeemer.  I believe You are making all things new and You are making me a new creation.

So come what may, Jesus, I place my faith, my hope and my trust in You.  Amen.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.”^[a]

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
