Often the going gets tough, and the way unclear. You wonder if what you are doing is worth it, at all. Fears show up at every turn. You question it all.
But let's wait a minute. In the end, after all, is not God the judge, the end of all things? Do we not have access to him in prayer? He hears the cry of the honest, and all those who call upon him in truth.
The Lord is merciful, willing to pardon, and to restore. He is not willing that any should perish. He is our God, our love. In times of trouble, let's trust in God. The prayer of the righteous is his delight.
He is a father, and his joy is to help his children. There's nothing too hard for God. The way may seem hard, and fearful, but God is greater than all that.
Yet, what if we fail. Does that diminish God? I don't think so. God is still God, and forever he is. There none beside him, and there never will be. But if we fail, yet is God merciful, and will pick us up.
Some will say, "In failure, we then should give up on God." But give up and turn to what? There's no hope anywhere else. In God alone is hope, and mercy. He will not always chide. Let's turn to him in prayer, for he hears us, and will help.
Oh God! Hear us, and make our confession true, for in You we have put our trust. Though we fall, yet will you lift us up. You'll have mercy upon us.
And what if we have sinned? The blood of Jesus is our mercy, and in him we live. You are our God, and that forever. Be strong for us, and show us the way in which we should walk, and lead us to good.
We are your praise on the earth, and in You through us is your name magnified. Thank you.
Let's hold on.
