So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord! Psalm 31: 24 NLT

God is always with us! He guides us every day. He knows how to provide for our needs. He helps us fight battles and arms us with courage and STRENGTH. He makes us stronger than before and gives us desire to remain faithful. He helps us release worry, so we will recognize who is handling our days.

These are difficult times. But we don’t have to handle life on our own. God gives us the ability to witness the power of His greatness and put our TRUST in Him. The Bible says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3: 5-6 NLT

As we discover how to find needed STRENGTH, we begin to realize the depth of love God has for us. There will never be a day without His presence. HE is the One who places HOPE in our hearts and reminds us who is working for the good.

HOPE! It's defined as "the desire and search for a good future." Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a HOPE. We mustn’t fear what’s to come! God will help us boldly walk on His path of purpose and remind us who's in charge of ALL things.

God WILL help us! He will provide HOPE as we journey together. He will help us gratefully “occupy hopefulness” if we focus on what's good and patiently WAIT to receive His timely rewards. He will bring PEACE to our souls and remind us why HOPE will ALWAYS holds us together. God will see us through!

Dear God, Thank you for Your everlasting love. Help us remember who’s in charge of our days. Open our hearts and prepare us for what’s to come, so we will "occupy hopefulness"! YOU are a good, good Father! Thank you for providing EVERYTHING we need to win our battles. We will faithfully TRUST in YOU. Thank you, Lord. With all of our hearts, we thank you for taking care of us and those we love! Amen

~Family and friends, Have a good day ahead! May the God who gives hope fill you with great joy. May you have perfect peace as you trust in Him. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope. Romans 15: 13
