God remains faithful

THE 3rd SUNDAY IN LENT

My father and mother walked out and left me, but God took me in. ~ Psalm 27:10 (MSG)

We often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don’t know what to do, we never give up. In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
God will not abandon us.
PRAYER:
Lord, the world has become a troubling place. And I find it hard to know how much I should trust anyone. There have been some really major deceptions in my lifetime. Please save me from the despair that comes with taking too much on my own shoulders. You, Lord, remain faithful. I'm going to put my faith in you and trust that my faith in you will grow. Amen.
