He has it all planned out to work for His glory and our good. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
He promises rest. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
He promises peace. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
He promises to give us what we need. Philippians 4:19 "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
He promises strength. Isaiah 40:29+31 "He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength...but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
He promises joy. Psalm 16:11 "You make known to me the path of life, if your presence there is fulness of joy, at your right hand there are pleasures forever more."
These are just a few of His promises. No matter what comes along in our lives, God will be our comfort and strength and give us what we need to continue serving Him.
I come before your throne of grace
And you are please to receive me
Burdens so great I cannot stand
You bid me rest
You wrap me in your sweet embrace
As I begin to praise your name
Lord in my greatest need you're there
My comforter
Jesus you take my load
And make it your own
Hold me and make me
At peace
Father here in your arms
I find true joy even in pain
By your sweet grace
My comforter
You pour your blessings out on me
I am renewed and given strength
You lead me beside still waters
My souls's restored
You've promised not to leave my side
Even in storms and darkest nights
You promise peace and lasting joy
My comforter
