Hope
How can you walk in hope when you feel hopeless inside? Let us walk this path together, we want to help.
Is your heart filled with hope? Do you have a confident expectation of your tomorrow? What happens when the road ahead is filled with loss and stress weighs your shoulders down? When confident expectation in life’s tomorrow dwindles, what can you do? How can you walk in hope when you feel hopeless inside? The God of Hope is your answer.
“May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace, as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).
• Hope for H elp
We are invited to come to Him and confidently ask for help. Hebrews 4:16 tells us “to come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in our time of need”.

• Hope to O vercome
Things that leave one feeling powerless and hopeless come in many forms. With Christ’s strength you can overcome great obstacles. 1 John 5:4 says “and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith”. Faith in Jesus gives hope and help to overcome.
• Hope for P ower
Sometimes in life we find ourselves with a task that simply looks too big for us. We do not just need a cup of God’s strength added to our own; rather we need His strength in us to do what we need to do. He will give it! 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness”. Seeing our weakness as the entry point of God’s strength gives access to His power!
• Hope for E ternity
When we put our faith and hope in Jesus, it not only gives us help, strength and power where we walk today but it also gives us hope for life after death. It is a confident expectation of the ultimate “tomorrow”.
The God of Hope sent His son to be our Savior. He is only one prayer away. If you want the confident expectation of His strength and wisdom in your today and His help and hope for your tomorrow, you need only ask. Just tell Him…
Dear God, I have gone my own way and have put my hope in so many things that have disappointed me. Thank you that You sent Jesus, that first Christmas long ago, to be my Savior. I believe He came for me. Forgive me and come into my life today. Show me how to live in the confident expectation of how You can impact my life, my character and my circumstances. I place my hope in You right now and ask You to make Yourself known to me in my life right where I walk. I thank you. I pray this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Questions: What do you place your hope in? Why is it so comforting to be able to place our hope in Jesus?

I place all of my faith and hope in God
Dear Gail, Thank you so much for sharing this message of HOPE! God bless, Wes
For me it’s been very hard to put my hope and trust in an unseen God bec i had to raise my 5 siblings without our mother who chose to leave us bec of her weaknesses. It was up to me to trust in MYself to get things done. i have always been the burden bearer and relied on my own strength. God had to strip me of everything and start all over with me. HE allowed things to happen in my life, including cancer, to bring me to my knees and totally OUT of my own control. This has all taken place over the past 20 years and HE now has me at a place spiritually where i look to HIM for my very existence. YES HE IS a GOOD God who is Holy and Sovereign, doing What HE wants, When HE wants and HOW HE wants. Circumstances which do not appear “good” at the time will ultimately be seen as good to the LORD for whatever reason HE had. Yes….HOPE is what we need.
God gives us hope each day of our walk with him. I have just come through six weeks of not knowing if my tests results would come back negative or positive for Cancer. Yesthday I received word from Dr. I am Cancer free. God is good God and he fills us with HOPE when we lean on him each day. I have walked with Lord for many years. Have lost a wonderful soulmate, my daughter and three grandchildren but I know when I get to heaven I will see them all soon.
wow, this could have not come at a better time than this for me. many thanks! God bless you.
I thank God for this encouraging word. I been struggling from time to time with my faith, but Jesus as been there for me through out my 28 yrs on this Earth. It has not been easy, but I have hope in him.
