The basis of all my hope is the knowledge that the Lord is for me. He is always moving towards me with unfailing love and mercy, desiring to create within me that peace and joy that are the hallmark of his kingdom. Jesus warned us that we would have trouble in this life but he also told us to be cheerful in the midst of that trouble because he knows how to handle it. (John 16:33)
In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me. Psalms 118:5-7 (NLT)
