 Writing Lamentations, the prophet Jeremiah says, I am depressed. My soul is downcast within me, but this I call to mind. Therefore, I have hope. Because of the Lord's great love, his kindness never ceases. His compassions never end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, so I will put my hope in you. As we place our life in God's hands, we too find hope in times of distress.
