Sometimes there's nothing to do but pray through until the light of day, mentally laying claim to the promises of God's word. Isaiah claims a promise when he prays to God in the dead of night:
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. - Isaiah 26:3
Isaiah encourages others, as well, telling them:
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. (verse 4) Deliverance is a promise and a PERSON, the One who gives grace to endure deep discouragement and trust that morning is on its way:
But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” - Ephesians 4:7-8
Yesterday's reading was a great encouragement! I'm thankful for Jesus, who went before me through every kind of despair and leads me out of darkness, handing out gifts as he goes.
