The world is hurting and crying out for help. Our modern society, whether they realize it or not, desperately needs the hope of the Lord to ease the aches and pains of this life. My heart breaks for my friends {and even strangers} as they hurt and I long for solutions for the problems they face.
Wanting to ease their pain, I pray for words of wisdom and to somehow be a ray of hope in their darkness.
Yet I am not the solution or the hope they need. They don’t need a to-do-list of ways to overcome these troubles.
They need Jesus.
HE is their light in the darkness.
HE provides shelter from the storm.
HE alone can lift the fog of depression.
HE can heal the hurting and mend broken dreams.
HE, the author of all hope and the giver of life, is faithful!
Even if you’re in the pit of despair today, please know THERE IS HOPE AND THERE IS HEALING!
Then, soak in God’s promises and rest in the peace of the Holy One who has already overcome it all!
Rest in the hope of the Lord and trust God to meet you in your brokenness. He is faithful!
