After the rain, the sun will come out...
Of the Lord's faithfulness, we must not doubt.
Rain is most often a life-giving thing...
May the "rains" of life be faith-strengthening.
P. A. Oltrogge
"Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."
Psalm 103:1-5
Psalm 25:6; Psalm 40:11; Psalm 89:1;
Psalm 107:1; Psalm 136:1-26; Psalm 145:9
"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:21-23 RSV
"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter
various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith
produces endurance."

"Then He spoke a parable to them,
that men always ought to pray and not lose heart...."
Luke 18:1
Jesus said:
"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them,
I will liken him to a wise man who built his house
on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came,
and the winds blew and beat on that house;
and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock."
