New Every Morning

This week is, and is going to be a hard week.

In a week like this, I find myself asking the question- what does scripture have to say to me in life's difficult times? What can I turn to for comfort? Or often it's not that articulate and thought out- I just pick up my Bible and cry out "Help".

And as often happens, the verse that as a church we are memorising this month, the very verse that Tim and I did a kids talk on this last weekend, was the one i needed to hear. The verse we had was Lamentations 3:22-23- but I'll give you the context. May it comfort you in whatever situation God has placed you in.
Love B

19I remember my affliction and my wandering,

the bitterness and the gall.
20I well remember them,

and my soul is downcast within me.
21 Yet this I call to mind

and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;

therefore I will wait for him."
25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,

to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly

for the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke

while he is young.
28 Let him sit alone in silence,

for the LORD has laid it on him.
29 Let him bury his face in the dust—

there may yet be hope.
30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,

and let him be filled with disgrace.
31 For men are not cast off

by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,

so great is his unfailing love.
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction

or grief to the children of men.
