​​​And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right standing with God)”. Genesis 15:6 (AMPCC)

God is good, and He never changes. He cannot lie, nor would He ever mislead us. He is for us, not against us. All of His thoughts, words, and actions are set towards us for our good because He is good.

The more we trust Him, the more He is able to help us. Just like hanging on to the edge of a cliff that is about to fall away—help may be right there, a strong arm reaching out to save us, but if we don’t trust that it could be so, we may hang on to that cliff even as it crumbles away. 

Delightfully loved one, God is different. He can be trusted. He is ever forever faithful and true. His hand is outstretched to you in every situation—He will pick you up into His strong arms of love and never let you go! Reach out, cherished one, trust, believe, and see! He will do for you, in every situation, what no one else can do. His faithful love, steady and secure,  will always see you through. 

 Prayer:

Dearest Father and Lord, I do reach out to You today. In the hurting and in the hope, I know Jesus, You are the Way-maker and You are the Way.

Come into my life afresh today, with Your healing and Your hope, take these burdens and these cares, take these problems, and these prayers, and make something beautiful from them, in the beauty of Your love.

I look to You Lord, and with faith and trust, I watch and wait. God of my life, come. Come in all the ways You can. In all the ways You need to.

My hope is in You alone.

In Jesus' precious and Holy Name, I pray.
