sad. disappointed. helpless. scared?

in this world you will have trouble.
in this world you will be sad. disappointed. your heart will be broken.
in this world you will be afraid. you will be discouraged. and scared.
in this world things will turn out differently than you like.
in this world you will feel powerless and helpless.
in this world you will see loved ones make poor choices.
in this world it will be tough to make it through a day.
in this world things might look really bad for a very long time.
in this world things might just be so unfair.

but this is what He said:

that's all true but take heart. be of good cheer. I, who was there in the beginning, through me all things have been made, I, have overcome the world.

I have plans, to prosper, not to harm. to give HOPE and a future.
I am faithful. I never sleep nor slumber.
I am victorious. what the enemy means for evil, I WILL turn into good for those that love me.
I watch over your coming and going. my love is never-ending and I am all powerful.
none of my plans will be thwarted. I am sovereign. and I am on your side. I am for you.


I have people on this earth that will be like me to you.
I have people that will use their gifts from me to hold you up when you feel you can't.

this is what one of them has for you:

There is strength within the sorrow

There is beauty in our tears

And You meet us in our mourning

With a love that casts out fear

You are working in our waiting

You're sanctifying us

When beyond our understanding

You're teaching us to trust

Your plans are still to prosper

You have not forgotten us

You're with us in the fire and the flood

You're faithful forever

Perfect in love

You are sovereign over us

You are wisdom unimagined

Who could understand Your ways

Reigning high above the Heavens

Reaching down in endless grace

You're the lifter of the lowly

Compassionate and kind

You surround and You uphold me

And Your promises are my delight

Your plans are still to prosper

You have not forgotten us

You're with us in the fire and the flood

You're faithful forever

Perfect in love

You are sovereign over us

Even what the enemy means for evil

You turn it for our good

You turn it for our good and for Your glory

Even in the valley, You are faithful

You're working for our good

You're working for our good and for Your glory

Your plans are still to prosper

You have not forgotten us

You're with us in the fire and the flood

You're faithful forever

Perfect in love

You are sovereign over us

Thank you Jesus.
