“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.” — Emily Dickinson

No matter what is going on, whether things are “coming back” quickly, slowly, or not at all, it can be frustrating. Especially when it impacts our families and our jobs.  Regardless, we need to apply the big “F” word (Faith) that we will be fine.

“What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.” – Hebrews 11:1 (TLB)

We need to trust God and believe He will get us through our difficulties because He wants the best for us.

What should we do? “Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying.” – Romans 12:12 (CEV)

Remember… “You will have courage because you will have hope…” – Job 11:18 (TLB)

And be assured by Romans 8:28 (CSB); “We know that God works out everything for the good of those who love him…”

May these words encourage you, “What is hope but a feeling of optimism, a thought that says things will improve, it won’t always be bleak [and] there’s a way to rise above the present circumstances.” – Wayne W. Dyer

So keep the faith and let hope rise above your problems.

My prayer for you is, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” – Romans 15:13 (NIV)

Thank you for your time. Be Blessed… LR Maddox
