Not Denied
‘Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread’ Ps.37:25

Unfulfilled Expectations From God
‘For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’ Jer.29:11
