I need hope
A word for this moment
Christian hope isn't optimism: it's trust in the One who keeps His promises.
A word for you
Bible textLamentations 3:22-23
“It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Hebrews 6:19
“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast.”
Psalms 130:5
“I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.”
Understand
