Hope of Relief.. In God's mercy

Lamentations 3:22-26 "Through the Lords mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion" says my soul "therefore I 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 hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord" NKJV

As I talk to those around me, I cant help but notice all the hurt, the troubles and the pain. Jeremiah went through and remembered how hit rock bottom with all his afflictions and troubles and as he recalled them, what he remembered only made him feel worse. Then as Jeremiah recalled the faithfulness of God brought about great change in his emotions and how he felt.

How often in life are we hurting, in despair and dwell on our circumstances? Dwelling on these hurts in our life, dig up emotions of old hurt as well and we find it hard to focus on the mercy and grace that God has already given us, finding that good that Christ offered us.

We can use Jeremiahs example of how he in his mind was able to turn around his afflictions and turn them into hope. By remembering that in the morning its a new day, to set our afflictions to God and remember His mercy, to wait along for Him to save us from whatever disaster we are in, reminding ourselves of the lovingkindness the mercy that He offers anew every day each step of the way. We have hope in the Lord, for He doesnt desire to see you hurt. Waiting, Trusting, and seeking God as He is able to pull you through.

Be faithful to God, devoted in waiting for Him to rescue you as He will. He will save you from your burden, wait patiently earnestly in hope He is your portion, He is all you need.

Hebrews 4:16 "therefore let us draw near with confidence to the trhone of grace, so that we may recieve mercy and find grace to help in the time of need"
