“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8NIV

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.Romans 8:28NIV
