Lord, my only hope is in You, in Your eternal promise.

We live on this earth for only a short season; when life gets hard Lord, help me to remember that. Help me to put my faith and my hope in You, in that which is eternal.

Jesus, Your love is so great. In times of trials, You are there. In times of sorrow, You are there. In times of fear, You are there. When I rise in the morning, when I lie down at night and every hour in between, You are there.

And, at the moment of my departure from this life, You will be with me. You will be there to deliver me from the presence of death into Your presence. You will be there to welcome me to my eternal home with You. There will be no more pain or sorrow, no more worry or fear.

Thank You Lord that though others may desert me, You will always be there!
