Are you feeling discouraged or overwhelmed? Do you feel stuck in a difficult situation and can’t see a way out? Maybe it feels like there’s a mountain standing in your way? You need to know that there is reason for hope!

At times like these, I remind myself that God has promised that He has good plans for me! His plans often come to light when I set aside some time to saturate myself in His Word.  

The word hope in scriptural passages, like the one in the picture, might be better expressed as a confident expectation.

Hope provides us with a foundation! Without hope, we become lost and allow the trials and troubles of this life to wear us down. We lose our motivation to live the life that God would have us live – a spiritually abundant life!

God gives us access to “a living hope” through the resurrection of Jesus (1 Peter 1:3). As scripture assures us, hope is “a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul” (Hebrews 6:19).

Have you asked God to provide you with the hope that He promises?
