Hope

This gave me joy and relief this afternoon.

I love the Lord because he hears and answers my prayers. Because he bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I have breath.! How kind is the Lord. How good he is. So merciful, this God of ours! The Lord protects those of childlike faith. Now I can rest again, for the Lord has been so good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling and so I walk in the Lord's presence as I live here on earth. I believed in you, so I prayed "I am deeply troubled, Lord." In my anxiety I cried out to you."
