Hope anchors your faith. When difficulties come and peace disappears, cling to hope. God is faithful to never let you go. Through hope, He extends His right hand to provide comfort. In 2 Corinthians 1, Paul writes about how compassionate God is to comfort His people in their troubles. When you don’t know what to do next, He is there to listen. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7 NIV). Let His love strengthen your faith as you look to Him for hope. Asking for help is something most people don’t like to do. Yet, it’s that same help that produces glimmers of hope and reflects God’s love for you. Count on the people in your life to spur you on with their love. By their good deeds, may God be glorified. God will not waste the difficult circumstances you go through. Through your perseverance, God is developing your character and strengthening your hope (Romans 5:3-4).
