....hope in hopeless times....

1Peter 5:6-7
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.

Hope in hopeless situation requires a belief that God is concern for your lives... the truth of the matter is God really is concern and in times of trials we can humble ourselves under His mighty hand... cast our cares and worries... and at due time God would exalt or deliver us from a particular situation.... whatever you are going thru... God cares for you... and wants to exalt you in due time... remember to cast your cares to Him... refuse to be anxious....

I remember Apostle Paul.... who was in jail when he wrote to the Philippians to never worry and be anxious.... Paul was not in his comfort when he said do not be anxious... in fact... there was a chance in that situation of Paul that he might lose his life the next day.... instead he encourage the churches to never worry and never be anxious....

Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Today instead of worry... replace with prayer and thanksgiving... thank GOd for what He has accomplished on the cross... forgiving our sins... redeeming us from the curse... giving us a blessing thru Jesus... in your requests... thank God for all that He has done thru Jesus... allow His peace to reign and protect your mind... I remember Jesus on how He told us to not allow our hearts to be troubled... in other words as believer we can decide not to be anxious and decide not to allow our hearts be troubled... we can trust and believe that all things work together for good...

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

His peace has already been given to you.... what you must do is let not your heart be troubled... cast your cares... let your request be made known... thank Him all He did on the cross... and let the peace of God will reign in your heart and mind....
