Sometimes life seems to come at you fast, and it can feel overwhelming.
Sometimes we need to seek a place of quiet, a place of reflection, a place of hope.
A reading from Lamentations 3:19-26.
19 The thought of my affliction and my homelessness
is wormwood and gall!
20 My soul continually thinks of it
and is bowed down within me.
21 But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,
‘therefore I will hope in him.’
25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him.
26 It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
The word of God for the People of God.
Thanks be to God.
