HOPE IN GOD

PSALM 27:9 (MSG)
You’ve always been right there for me;
don’t turn your back on me now.
Don’t throw me out, don’t abandon me;
you’ve always kept the door open.


LUKE 23:42-43 (MSG)
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom.”
He said, “Don’t worry, I will. Today you will join me in paradise.”


SUMMARY SENTENCE
God will not turn his back on those who turn to him.

PRAYER
Gracious God, even though we've turned from you, you remain faithful to us. Help me to turn my life completely over to you. Regardless of what comes my way I'm not going to worry but I'm going to put my hope in you and your grace -- that which was poured out on us through Christ Jesus. Amen.
