Don't quit hoping

O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood. ~ Psalm 71:5 (NLT)

So we do not give up. Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NCV)

KEY IDEA:
Since our hope is in the Lord we should continue hoping -- even when we grow old and our bodies don't work as well.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for sustaining me for my many years. Like the psalmist, I've trusted in you since I was a child. And you have never let me down. At times I let you down and don't act faithfully. I have no good excuse or explanation for my behavior because you have been so good to me. Please continue to renew my inner life so that I do not become discouraged. I'm going to bank my hope with you. Amen.
