All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant. Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way; (19) yet you have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.

Lord, I have to realize that no matter what comes upon me in the way of trial or temptation that You are with me, Your hand never leaves me, Your Spirit never deserts me, I am always secure in Your grace and mercy. I must never forget that You will lead me through the barren places and through the fiery pits.
