God, we often want assurances. The assurance that things will work out. The assurance of positive outcomes. The assurance of happy endings. But this life doesn’t promise us an easy road. No matter how hard we try, we simply can’t control all the variables.
But, Father, you do give us some assurances. You do make promises, and you are faithful to keep every one.
You promise to never leave us nor forsake us. You promise to hear our every prayer. You promise to be with us wherever we go. You promise to be our refuge and strength. There are too many to list, but perhaps the greatest of all is the assurance of your everlasting love.
Father, this world will let us down time and again, but you will not. You are faithful and good. We thank you for your promises; we thank you that we can hold tight to every one. Please help us remember that your promises are all the assurance we need…that our peace, hope, and joy are found in you alone.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
