Lamentations 3:19-24 NCV
LORD, remember my suffering and my misery, my sorrow and trouble. [20] Please remember me and think about me.

[24] I say to myself, “The LORD is mine, so I hope in him.”

They will put their trust in the LORD.

We have this treasure from God, but we are only like clay jars that hold the treasure. This is to show that the amazing power we have is from God, not from us. [8] We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We often don’t know what to do, but we don’t give up.
