Lasting words

We humans are merely grass, and we last no longer than wild flowers... Flowers and grass fade away, but what our God has said will never change. ~ Isaiah 40:6, 8 (CEV)

The sky and the earth will not last forever, but my words will. ~ Mark 13:31 (CEV)
God, we are surrounded by an overwhelming amount of change. And often it feels like life is slipping away. But I am so grateful that your message to us does not change. Your promises and messages last forever. Help me to find comfort and confidence in that knowledge. I get easily discouraged because I over-think things. But you have said that you are trustworthy. So I am going to trust you -- even as I see people and things important to me slip away. Amen.
