My HopeSample

Life can often place us on paths of uncertainty and hardship where it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. In those moments, we can ask ourselves, “What do I look for?” Do we look to the problem, trying to figure it out in our own strength? Do we look to friends, dissecting every angle of the issue, hoping they can offer a solution? Or do we look to God? Psalm 39:7 reminds us that our hope is in Him. When we place our hope in God, we anchor ourselves to His unchanging character and the promises He’s made. Trusting in Him means shifting our focus from the problem to the One who holds the solution. Looking to our problems leads to anxiety, but looking to God leads to peace and guidance - it leads to hope.

PRAYER

Lord, we thank You that in every season of life, You remain steadfast and faithful. When we are tempted to focus on our problems, remind us to lift our eyes to You. Help us to trust in Your unchanging character and to find our hope in Your promises. Guide our steps as we place our confidence in You, and teach us to continue moving forward with hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
