The antidote to despair is hope.
But how do find hope when all you feel is despair? What if you just feel down or blue or just blah for no reason?
HOW do you get back to the place where you recognize HOPE again?
Romans 15:13 – May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
We have the GOD OF HOPE on our side!
We have the POWER fo the HOLY SPIRIT in our corner!
if we BELIEVE
we will ABOUND in Hope!
not just have hope, no, no.
ABOUND in Hope!
Overflow with Hope!
Despair will drown!
by BELIEVING ….
Hope and Faith are connected. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Psalm 43:5 – Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
Psalm 62:5 – For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
Psalm 71:14 – But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.
Proverbs 10:28 – The hope of the righteous brings joy,
Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Lamentations 3:24 – “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
So choose to believe, choose to remember that God is faithful and He will give you Hope!
