How hope gives light in dark times
"Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
When Hope Feels Hard...
Maybe you have been there. Maybe you’re there right now. All hope seems lost, or is so far buried in the fog of despair that you’re struggling to keep your faith. The feelings are not uncommon, even to the strongest believers, especially when facing difficulties we just can’t overcome.
The list of potentials is as long as…well…endless. Whatever the source or issue might be, it has triggered your faith to crumble.
It is so easy to feel completely alone and overwhelmed, with no one to turn to. You likely question where God is in all of this. Deep inside, we tell ourselves that we should know better and that there must be something wrong with us to question God. And that guilty sense seems simply to make matters worse.
Yet, it is not at all unusual to feel hopeless when everything around you seems to be falling apart at the seams. Feeling a bit…well, lost, is a very natural and common response to difficult situations.
...But God
But the good news is—there is hope. We may have lost sight of God, but He has not lost sight of us. He is still there, waiting for us.
