*A thought*:

In the midst of desolation and catastrophe, where can one turn? Thankfully, those who know the Lord can lean hard upon His breast (Psalm 74). The old adage, though a cliche, is still reassuring: when the outlook is dark and depressing, try the uplook! 

*Week #34 Memory Verse*:

Isaiah 40:31

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"
