 keeping uplifted and looking into the face of Jesus. That is the place of strength and that is the place of hope. Father, we're thankful for your word as it has taught us even today to believe in you and also to realize that you are a sovereign God and that many problems, many problems are difficult and they take a long time, but in the end there's victory. And so we're thankful for that. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
