Devotions:

 

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.”

 

Devotional:    Never lose hope!

 

When we find ourselves in the thick of challenges or sticky situations, Jesus tells us to call upon His name and cry out, “Jesus Help Me!” At that instant, the battle becomes His and our role is simply to trust Him as He fights for us. Don’t let discouragement set in and never lose hope!

 

We have all experienced a few of life’s hiccups and disappointments where our vision of the future, our good intentions, our relationships or expectations dissolved into a nightmare and our high hopes took a hike! That’s when discouragement sets in. Discouragement may be awful but it is not terminal.

 

God has an ultimate goal in mind for us; that we may have hope. But what leads to such a goal, we ask. Two things: perseverance in our faith and encouragement from God’s scriptures to guide us to a resolution in the midst of our discouraging situations. Again, we are never to lose hope.

 

Let us pray:  Heavenly Father, bless me with a greater trust that You are nearby and long to help me when I am discouraged. Help me persevere, using my faith in You to make sound decisions not only for my own life but for others as well. I ask you, God of hope, to fill my heart with peace and help me to never lose hope.

 

In thy Holy Name I pray, AMEN.
