God’s Word tells us that He is vigilantly watching over each of us, as we honor Him with our life and daily wait for His faithful love. He provides for all of our needs and does not allow us to suffer intense deprivation (Psalm 33:18-19).
Even during our most injurious trials, He supports us. He does not rejoice over injustice of any kind, because He focuses only on truth, love, trust, hope and endurance (1 Corinthians 13:6-7). He delivers His Saints from death, because though our body goes to the grave, our spirit and soul are immediately present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).
When we realize that we are struggling with weariness, depression and fearful circumstances, we can change our focus to hoping in God alone. We thank Him in all the issues that we face, even the negative ones. His saving presence within us and all around us are just a prayer away (Psalm 42:11).
We shed our discouraging, negative attitudes and fill our heart with praises to our God who continually strengthens us and places us in His Body with other authentic Believers who are united with us as one body and in one spirit. God is our Father and Lord, and He calls us to walk in His hope (Ephesians 4:4-6).
Once we find our true rest in God alone, He gives us supernatural hope in the direst of circumstances. He is our rock, our stronghold and our salvation, and He helps us not to allow any situation to shake our faith and trust in Him (Psalm 62:5-6).
God is faithful, and we can trust Him to give peace to our anxious soul as we patiently wait on His faithful love, intervention, redemption, and provision. He never leaves or forsakes us (Hebrews 13:5; Psalm 130:7). He is our living God, who is worthy of our love; the only true Savior of everyone who put their trust in Him and believe in Him (1 Timothy 4:10; John 3:18).
Prayer:
Father God, remind us that our trials teach us to endure, which produces Your divine character in us, and which gives us unfailing hope in Your care for us. We are never ashamed when we trust in Your love that You pour out into our heart through Your Holy Spirit, whom You give to everyone who trusts in You for salvation of our spirit, soul and body (Romans 5:3-5).
You give us eternal hope and comfort through Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf. You encourage our soul and strengthen us in every way (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17). Our faith in Your faithfulness is the reality of what we hope for, and proof of answered prayers, which we have no finite proof will ever occur in our favor (Hebrews 11:1-2). We love You and trust only in You to care for us in every circumstance that we will ever experience.
Thought for the Day:
God chose Jesus before the creation of the world, to bless those who are faithful to Him and who believe that He raised Jesus from the dead and restored Him to His former glory in Heaven; therefore, we can totally rest in God and trust our hope in His faithfulness to us both now and throughout eternity.
- 1 Peter 1:20-21
