When we are trusting in God (the truth here states), we will be surrounded by "unfailing love" (NLT) or "with mercy and lovingkindness" (AMP), or "steadfast love" (ESV), or "sa grace" (NEG). We struggle to come up with an adequate translation for the Hebrew word "Hesed."
Hesed is not easily translated into English. It could imply mercy, or loyalty, or "faithfulness to the covenant." In this case "covenant love" probably gets closest to the meaning. We are surrounded by God's love which is faithful to the covenant that he freely enters with those who trust him.
This truth will get us through a multitude of difficulties.
Prayer - O Lord God, may abide and rest in the comfort of your unfailing covenantal love, and may I pass that commitment on to others. May they see your hesed through me.
