II Corinthians 4:8-9 ” We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”

Thank You Jesus, that although I live in a broken world full of obstacles… with my heart full of anguish, You have chosen me as Your own. (I Peter 2:9)

Thank You Jesus, that even as I endure under great pressure, sometimes far beyond my ability to stand, I will hold within this jar of clay of mine Your Words of comfort & joy. (II Corinthians 1:8, II Corinthians 4:7)

Thank You Jesus, that when I am overcome by grief and despair, I know that in You is my hiding place and You will protect and never reject me, for I am precious in Your sight. (Psalm 32:7, Psalm 94:14, I Peter 2:4)
