If He wasn't going to use that hard thing for your good, it wouldn't have happened. He had to sign off on every single thing that touches your life.

When we worry, we are telling God, "You are neither trustworthy nor in control, so I need to worry and scheme as I take matters into my own hands." In this way unbelief drives worry, for it is impossible to worry when we are trusting in the provision of our sovereign God.

What kind of future is in God's plan? A good one to which you can look forward. That's why you can hope.

When we pray, we are speaking to the One Whose eternal purpose and designs are unfolding as our present realities. In order to find hope in them, we must seek HIM and HIS perspective. This requires a keen understanding of the redemptive nature of our existence, which points to the glorious gospel of Christ.

I will not fail: God is always victorious.

What you hope for determines what you live for. What you hope for determines WHO you live for. Hope misplaced can devastate you.

The core of humanity's sin problem is not a horizontal behavior to be corrected but a Vertical relationship to be restored.
