my lament

Today was not a good day. Everything that could possibly go wrong seemed to head that way right off the bat. I talked with family and friends to lament my frustrations, but found little relief. I was about to call it a day when I grabbed my Bible. (Why this is my last resort I don't know.) Here is what our God spoke to me through His Spirit, which I hope encourages you:

"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning, great is your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." ~Lamentations 3:21-27 (ESV)

"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think according to the power at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen" ~Ephesians 4:20-21
