Great is Thy Faithfulness

Do you know that the Lord is fully aware of your heartache? Often times we feel like no one cares about what we are battling or what haunts us. We are left disappointed when our friends, sisters, parents, co-workers or husbands don't comfort us, or seem to show concern when we are hurting. We fail to realize that God is waiting on us to cast our cares on him.

1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

This is good news to anyway who is hurting today, or feels like they are suffering alone. As humans we will often times be unsuccessful at being Christ-like. Yet God never fails.

Great is thy faithfulness... Lamentations 3:22-23
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.

Think about the lyrics to this beloved hymn and let it seep into your soul. Be encouraged. You are not alone. God is with you!

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee,
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not,
As Thou hast been,Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above;
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own great presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.
