Hope for Today: Devotions for Depression & AnxietySample

Deliverance Is Coming In the waiting, it can be hard not to grow discouraged. This is where our attention matters. What are we surrounding ourselves with? Do we fellowship with others who help us and lift us up, or do we plug along with the disheartened and discouraged? There is a place for sharing in suffering, and it should not be underrated. The messages we receive from media, faithless friends, and society at large, affect us. What are our souls being fed with? Is it the despair of the world or is it the hope of the kingdom? We cannot escape the harsh realities of life, but we certainly can take ownership of the messages we allow into our homes and hearts. God is our hope, and he is our deliverer! May we choose to align ourselves with the love of Jesus, displayed in the Word and in fellowship with others who are submitted to his grace. God, as I cling to your Word, I know that life and deliverance are coming. Even as I wait on you, I choose to continue to believe in hope that you are coming and you will restore all that has been lost. You are consistently good, and I choose to trust in your goodness.
