Brimming with Hope⁣

+For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.⁣

⁣

-Jeremiah 29:11 NIV⁣

⁣

+Maybe it’s hard to imagine yourself as a positive, faith-filled person, full of hope. ⁣

⁣

+Some people are simply afraid to hope because they have experienced so many negative circumstances and they don’t think they can face any more pain.⁣

⁣

+But no matter what you’ve been through, God has so much good in store for you! He is “the God of hope,” full of mercy and new beginnings (see Romans 15:13).⁣

⁣

+And with Him, it’s never too late to start believing, anticipating, hoping and expecting that things will get better.⁣

⁣

+Maybe you’re struggling with intense sadness or a bitter disappointment and can’t imagine anything getting better.⁣

⁣

+The enemy wants to convince you that things will never change. But God wants you to know that He loves you, and you can trust Him to make a miracle out of your mess.⁣

⁣

+Hope says: “Things may have been this way for a long time, but God is the God of the impossible, and things can change.”⁣

⁣

+When you’re going through a really difficult time or have experienced pain in the past, it can be easy to expect more of the same.⁣

⁣

+But today, God is asking you to place your hope in Him—to expect and believe that He is greater than what you’re going through, and He can even take the bad things that have happened and work them out for your good.⁣

⁣

🙏 Father, I know You have a good plan for my life, and today I choose to place my hope in You.⁣

⁣

+Right now, right in the midst of what I’m dealing with, please help me to expect good things for my future.⁣

⁣

+Help me to see beyond what I’m feeling and place my trust in You, the anchor of my soul.⁣

⁣

+Thank You for being with me every hour of every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙌☝️🤍🌻

What to Do When Things Seem Hopeless⁣⁣

✞whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in you—⁣⁣

⁣⁣

-Psalms 56:3 CEB⁣⁣

⁣⁣

✞Jesus looked at them carefully and said, “It’s impossible for human beings. But all things are possible for God.”⁣⁣

⁣⁣

-Matthew 19:26 CEB⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+Maybe you feel completely overwhelmed—like things have gotten too difficult and there’s nothing good left for your future.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+We all get hurt and go through hard times, and sometimes we find ourselves in desperate situations, wondering if we can keep going or make it through.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+But I want you to know that no matter how deep your pain is, or what you’ve been through, there is hope.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+At this moment, you may be facing what seems like an impossible situation.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+You may be struggling with feelings of sadness and depression and wonder if you’ll ever get past it.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+But I want you to know that God can bring change and make all things new.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+He can take your problem and turn it into something good.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+He can even work in your mind and emotions and help you to see things from a different perspective.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+Even when it seems there is no way, God can make a way. Because He’s the God of the impossible, and He’s the One who can make a miracle out of any situation (see Matthew 19:26).⁣⁣

⁣⁣

🙏 Father, I need You now. You say You love me and see exactly where I am…and in spite of how I feel, I choose to believe Your Word.⁣⁣

⁣⁣

+In the face of all I am going through, I look to You for help. I need Your strength to deal with everything that feels too big for me right now.⁣⁣

PRAYER

🙏 God, thank You for always listening when I pray to You. I know that you want to hear from me because you love me. Thank You for every blessing in my life.⁣

⁣

+Please help me and the ones I love through the battles we are facing. Answer my prayers in a way only You can. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙌☝️🤍🌻

TAKE DELIGHT

+Prayer and action go hand in hand. Even when you cannot help physically, you can always pray. God acts in response to your prayers.⁣

⁣

+The lesson for us is that it is less important for us to know the particular reasons behind our specific suffering than it is to know that we can trust in the sovereign goodness of the One who permits suffering to come into our lives.⁣

⁣

+That is how we will persevere—not by relying on our own strength but by trusting in the Father and His good purposes for us. ☝️⁣

⁣

🙏 Lord, I give You thanks because even in the most difficult of moments I can trust that you are going to be my hiding place. Help me to put all my trust in You.⁣

⁣

+Remind me that Your purpose and plans for my life are beyond my understanding, help me to be strong in faith, trust and rest in you. In Jesus name, Amen. 🙌🌻🤍

The LORD is my ROCK

+Where do you go when life presents you with challenges? Where is your safe place?⁣

⁣

+When you are hurt, afflicted, stressed, or you feel loneliness, confusion or depression, do you have a hiding place?⁣

⁣

+There are good hiding places and not so good ones, and some that are mostly temporary.⁣

⁣

+But there is one that is powerful and perfect, the safest, one that lasts forever. That hiding place can only be found in Jesus.⁣

⁣

+He is our stronghold in the midst of the storm, our pain, and in the midst of our moments of uncertainty and darkness.⁣

⁣

+Is Jesus your stronghold? God is completely committed to protecting your heart, your mind, and your soul against the enemy that is looking to destroy your faith.⁣

⁣

+God has good things for our life. He is our rock and fortress, the place where we can find refuge.⁣

⁣

+He is our stronghold, our savior, and liberator. He provides shelter and protection. ☝️⁣

⁣

🙏 Father God, thank You for being my source of strength. You are here for me no matter what I face, and I’m so grateful I can take refuge in You.⁣

⁣

+Today, help me to come before You humbly and honestly. Give me the courage to surrender my concerns to You, and trust You with the results.⁣

⁣

+I invite You to become my source of strength today. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙌🤍🌻

When I'm weak, you are strong

ღ God always has a good purpose for allowing suffering to come into our lives, but we do not always know what that purpose is. ⁣

⁣

ღ Yet, because we know the Lord is perfectly good (James 1:13–18), we trust that He will work all of the pain that we endure for our final good and His final glory.⁣

⁣

ღ Our situations might not change, but our cry often changes from, "God please remove this suffering," to, "God, when I suffer-show me how You are using this for Your glory and my good."⁣

⁣

ღ So whatever you're facing, know that God is near. He sees you, and He loves you. Take some time today and ask God to show you how He is empowering you. Draw near to Him, and let Him strengthen you.⁣

⁣

ღ The better we know the character of our Creator, the better we will be able to trust in His goodness and grace in the midst of all our suffering.⁣

⁣

✟ God, thank You for giving me Yourself. Thank You for empowering me to face whatever comes my way.⁣

⁣

✟ Help me to remember that even when I’m weak, You are still strong. And You can take the hardest of situations and turn it around for Your glory and my good.⁣

⁣

✟ So please help me to glorify You with all that I am. Let my weaknesses become windows that Your glory shines through. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🙌☝️ツ♡
