Hey everyone, it’s debbie here. Today, I want to talk about the power hope and faith in challenging times.
We often hear people saying “I hope everything works out” or ” Lets hope things get better,” but what does HOPE really mean? Hope is the expectation that something good is going to happen.
When faced with bad news, it’s easy to let fear and anxiety take over, making us feel overwhelmed and hopeless. But I’ve learned that we shouldn’t let the devil’s lies control us. Instead, we should be strong and believe that God is in control. He wants us to expect great things and have faith that everything will work out.
I remember I went to the eye doctor recently because my vision was blurry. I could have let fear set in when they referred me to a specialist for further glaucoma tests, but I chose to trust in God’s plan. Similarly, in 2018 when I was diagnosed with a nasopharyngeal tumor, I could have been consumed by fear, worries if it was cancer but with faith and the support of great medical professionals, like Dr Terrence Zipfel I underwent surgery at Salem Community Hospital in Salem Ohio and the tumor turned out to be benign.
I hold onto Jeremiah 29:11, which reminds me that God has plans for my welfare, not for evil, but for good and great things. By staying hopeful, reading the Bible, and strengthening my faith, I’ve learned to overcome fear and let go of worry.
So remember, even when things don’t go as planned, having faith and hope can lead us through difficult times. Ask God to show you his plan, it may be different than what you have in mind, and trust in God’s plan, pray, read your Bible, and watch your faith grow stronger. The devil has no place in our lives when we focus on God’s promises. Let’s choose hope over fear and walk confidently in faith.
Gave a blessed day.
