Even though I may suffer embarrassments and be faced with perplexing situations, even though it seems as if I am unable to find my way out, I will never be driven to despair.
Even though I may be pursued, persecuted, and hard driven, I know You will never leave me or forsake me. You will never desert me to stand alone.
Even though I may be struck down to the ground, I shall never be struck out or destroyed. You are with me, You are for me, and You are in me: This is the formula of success and victory for my life. I shall never give in, I shall never give up, and I shall never quit. My ultimate victory is guaranteed in You.
You said that in this world I would have tribulation but to be of good cheer because You have overcome this world.
You said that the afflictions of the righteous are many but You deliver them out of them all. Thank You, Lord, for delivering me from adversity.
