But as for me, I will look to the Lord and confident in Him, I will keep watch; I will wait with hope and expectancy for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O my enemy! When I fall, I shall arise. When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me.
Micah 7:7-8 AMP
Do you have places in your life that don't seem to be working or seem dry? Have you been praying over a situation for years but nothing seems to have changed? Are there things in your life that you don't think will ever change? Don't give up! Take heart. No matter what is going on around you, choose to have a Micah 7:7-8 attitude. "But as for me...!"
