Hospital Sick Call
A Memorable verse, (Psalm 30/31 :24) is:
"Be strong! Let your heart take courage, and hope in the Lord"
When God says: "Be strong!" His word creates the power it is asking you to stir up in yourself.
When he says: "Let your heart take courage", He himself plants that courage in your heart. You only have to open it to him. When he says: " .. and hope in the Lord." He isn't asking you to hope that he will heal you or will do this, or that for you. He just means you simply to hope in himself, without any conditions.
And he assures us that "Your hopes will not be disappointed".

This is the Lamb of God
