We have a reason for our hopes and expectations.
āGod is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selahā Psalm 46: 1-3.

āThe Lord gave me this message:
āI knew you before I formed you in your motherās womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.
āO Sovereign Lord,ā I said, āI canāt speak for you! Iām too young!ā
The Lord replied, āDonāt say, āIām too young,ā for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8Ā And donāt be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!ā Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said,
āLook, I have put my words in your mouth!
Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant.ā Jeremiah 1: 5-10 (NLT).

Can you relate to these verses?
āI said to myself, āI will watch what I do
Ā Ā and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.ā
But as I stood there in silenceānot even speaking of good thingsāthe turmoil within me grew worse.
The more I thought about it, the hotter I got, igniting a fire of words:
āLord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numberedāhow fleeting my life is.
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.ā
Psalm 39: 1-5 (NLT).

Donāt despair! Heās ALWAYS there offering us hope and reassurances.
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
āNever will I leave you; never will I forsake you.ā
So we say with confidence,
āThe Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?ā
Hebrews 13: 5-6 (NKJV).
