Thankful for Hope

Sometimes there are just no words. Sometimes the feelings are overwhelming. Sometimes the hurt is too big. Sometimes the loss is too much. Sometimes the what-ifs are paralyzing. Sometimes the regret is too heavy. Sometimes the diagnosis is devastating. Sometimes the anger is overpowering. Sometimes the grief is more than you can bear. Sometimes the bills are coming in too fast. Sometimes your children just refuse to listen. Sometimes life is just not fair. Sometimes that drink looks way too tempting. Sometimes that other person looks better than your spouse. Sometimes that pain pill seems to be the answer. Sometimes the day seems too long. Sometimes the night is scary. Sometimes the job seems pointless. Sometimes life seems out of control.


But there is Hope. There is always Hope because...


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go..


You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.


But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting..


He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.


I am your shield and your exceeding great reward.


The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?


For you are my Hope, O Lord God: You are my trust from my youth.


We have Hope as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast...


Hold on to Hope today. It is always available.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, 

the evidence of things not seen. 

Hebrews 11:1
