Lord, you are God, and you have promised these good things to me, your servant.
“My God, you have told me that you would make my family great. So I, your servant, am brave enough to pray to you.
You have chosen to bless my family. Let it continue before you always. Lord, you have blessed my family, so it will always be blessed.”
That faith and that knowledge come from the hope for life forever, which God promised to us before time began. And God cannot lie.
These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when he makes a promise, and he cannot lie when he makes an oath. These things encourage us who came to God for safety. They give us strength to hold on to the hope we have been given.
