Day 10: Entrusting Your Hopes to God

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. - Isaiah 26:3

We all have hopes - in our personal lives, our professional lives, our families. And we all find those hopes challenged in times of trial or even just uncertainty. If you're facing a time in your life when something is uncertain, or maybe it's not uncertain and it seems like life has just come against you with everything it's got, it's easy to become discouraged. The best way to fend off hopelessness and discouragement is to use God's word. Read it for yourself, talk about it with others, and even find verses that speak to the situation you know someone else is going through. There's nothing quite as encouraging to you as seeing the look of joy on someone else's face when God uses you to speak encouraging, healing words to them. Let God be your source of hope today, rather than worrying, and you'll find that it's much easier to not be hopeless regardless of the situation.
