God’s Faithfulness

Today, focus on your desire for your child to recognize God’s faithfulness:

O Lord, Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Your faithfulness surrounds You . . . and endures to all generations. All Your commandments are faithful. . . . Your testimonies are righteous and very faithful.

By faith Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged You faithful and You had promised.

You called us, and You are faithful. Lord, You are faithful, who will establish us and guard us from the evil one.

Therefore, we know that You the Lord our God are God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love You and keep Your commandments.

Faithfulness is the belt of Your waist.

Judah still walks with You, even as You are the Holy One who is faithful.

If his sons forsake Your law and do not walk in Your judgments . . . then You will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless in Your loving kindness You will not utterly take from him, nor allow Your faithfulness to fail.

If we are faithless, You remain faithful.

You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins . . . a merciful and faithful High Priest . . . Jesus Christ, the faithful witness.

Through Your mercies, Lord, we are not consumed, because Your compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

Now John saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And You who sat on him were called Faithful and True.

Help us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for You promised and You are faithful.
