I’ve heard it in the Chillest Land - And on the Strangest Sea/ Yet - never - in extremity, It asked a crumb - of me

 

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Hebrews 11:1-3

Lamentations 3:19-24

The thought of my suffering and homelessness       

is bitter beyond words.

I will never forget this awful time,       

as I grieve over my loss.   

Yet I still dare to hope       

when I remember this:

The faithful love of the LORD never ends!

His mercies never cease. 

Great is his faithfulness;

his mercies begin afresh each morning.  

I say to myself, 

“The LORD is my inheritance;       

therefore, I will hope in him!”

from Psalm 62:

    Let all that I am wait quietly before God,       

for my hope is in him. 

    He alone is my rock and my salvation,       

my fortress where I will not be shaken. 

    My victory and honor come from God alone.

       He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. 

    O my people, trust in him at all times.       

Pour out your heart to him,      

     for God is our refuge. 

“To live without Hope is to cease to live." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
