A proverb:
Hope restored is faith procured, for hope is the root of faith and faith is the arm which receives what is already done.
“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 your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord .”
Lamentations 3:21-26 (ESV)
