hope...

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
—Romans 15:13
Over the past week, the prayer request have been overwhelming. Deaths, surgeries, sickness, finances, direction, protection... The list goes on and on. You know we are always in need of God. Whether it be in bad times or in good. I am so thankful He is always there, we are never alone. We all know that He did not promise an easy ride, but He did promise He would never forsake us, never leave us alone. That is such great peace if we just hang on to it. Just trust in Him!
As we watch the news of this horrible natural disaster unfold before our eyes, I search for scripture that will be comforting. Most of you know the Bible is full of hopeful and reassuring scripture. I am listing below several I thought would be helpful. Write them down, tack them up where you might need to retreat back to them. Just know, He is with you. However our situations unfold, He will be there. It can be so difficult, but try to get to a place in your walk with Him where you are sensitive to His voice. There is not a greater peace than knowing Him.

God Bless and Much Love,
