In what ways can we rely on God's faithfulness during difficult times? Opening the Passage “They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!” (BSB, Lamentations 3:23) Living Hope Woven into Every Sunrise • Each new day is proof that God resets His mercies. • Yesterday’s failures do not exhaust today’s grace. • We can step into tough mornings certain we’re met with fresh compassion, not recycled leftovers. Solid Reasons to Trust His Steadfastness • His covenant character never shifts—“Know that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God, keeping His covenant…” (BSB, Deuteronomy 7:9) • Faithfulness is who He is, not just what He does—“If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.” (BSB, 2 Timothy 2:13) • He links His name to His promises; therefore, His reliability is as secure as His deity. Practical Ways to Lean on God in Hard Seasons 1. Recall His promises aloud – “Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” (BSB, Hebrews 10:23) – Memorize key verses; speak them into anxious moments. 2. Rest in His proven track record – Journal past deliverances; rehearse how He showed up before. – Scripture’s narrative and your own story align to declare He won’t break pattern. 3. Run to His presence daily – “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (BSB, Psalm 46:1) – Worship, prayer, and fellowship keep His constancy in view, shrinking the size of present trials. 4. Reframe suffering through His purpose – “In all things God works for the good of those who love Him…” (BSB, Romans 8:28) – Hardships become arenas where His faithfulness is displayed and our faith refined. 5. Rely on the Body of Christ – Lean on believers who can remind you of truth when feelings falter. – Corporate worship echoes the chorus of God’s unwavering fidelity across generations. Where Confidence Leads • Peace that overrides circumstances. • Perseverance that keeps moving when answers delay. • Praise that blossoms even in lament, because we know dawn always breaks. His mercies are new; His faithfulness is great. Count on it today—and every tomorrow. |
