Lord, we say these words, we say we believe them. We claim we put our trust in You.

But, in the face of our trials, when danger or trouble knocks at the door, when we are tested, more often than not our words prove empty. Help us Lord to truly and fully put our trust in You.

No man, no army, no government, no created thing can deliver us. These things are all, as the Psalmist writes, “false hope”; it is a hope on which too often we build our lives and even our faith.

Remind me Lord, in those seasons of doubt and trials, to put my faith in the True Hope of Jesus Christ, the One who can deliver me, the One True God who is ruler over all things!

Only You can save!
