I hear the Lord say:

Your lament is your heartfelt cry of hope. Hope for yourself and hope for your family. Your hope is well placed, for your only hope is hope in Me. Because My love never ceases, because My mercies are new every morning,  because of My faithfulness, you can put your hope in Me. I am good to those who wait on Me, who seek Me with their whole heart. I am good and My mercy covers you as a warm blanket. Let it be a source of comfort and joy. I am sufficient for your needs. You need nothing else besides Me. Take My yoke upon you – it is light and it keeps you tethered to Me.  Together, we are a great team. I lead, you follow. I bless, you receive. I command, you obey. I make a way, you walk in it. Fix your eyes on Me, not the distractions around you.

“Keep calm and follow Jesus.”

21 Yet this I call to mind
    and therefore I have hope:

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.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”

25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
    to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.
