WHEN…

You are lonely or fearful, Read Psalm 23

You are in sorrow, Read John 14:1-6

You have sinned, Read Psalm 51

God has rescued you, Read Psalm 34

You are grateful, Read Psalm 103

“Before our Father’s throne

We poor our ardent prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

Our comforts and our cares.

From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity." Blest Be the Tie That Binds, Lutheran Service Book #649

“Blessed Lord, You have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning. Grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them that, by patience and comfort of Your holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” Amen! Lutheran Service Book p. 308
