HOPE

Hope is one of the most powerful things that you will ever have access to.

Hope allows you to stop focusing on your present troubles and believe for a better tomorrow.

Hope allows you to continue believing that God has something better for you than the things that you’re dealing with in the moment. 

However, hope is often easily snatched away, overshadowed by the adversity, hardships, trials, and tribulations that are a natural part of daily life. In those moments, it’s up to you to find hope, even in hopeless situations.

Life is often a painful, confusing, tiresome experience. Even when things are going relatively well, we can still usually point to a few areas of our lives that just aren’t where we want them to be. It’s not uncommon to evaluate where you’re at in relation to these hardships and start asking questions. 

Why do I have to deal with suffering? 

Why do I constantly battle against depression and anxiety? 

Why do I have to wake up every morning, put on a fake smile, and muddle through life while I’m trying to find hope?

The ANSWER

God knew about it. He is watching it. He will see you through in whatever you are going through. God is near to those who call on Him in truth. The scripture affirms.

Even the delicious meals we enjoy first go through fire and hot oil. Jesus Himself went through challenges and finally overcame and so do we.

Trees shade off leaves and wither but their hope is in the rain.
