Every day that we awake, we face new possibilities, sometimes new challenges, other times the same old thing, but we are still alive, which is the essential factor. Life allows us to have faith which is the substance of things we can hope for, even when there is no evidence that things will be better or change in our lives. We live in a very uncertain time where certainty about anything is not a guarantee on our own, but in Christ Jesus. There is still hope!

Recently, my Pastor spoke a word letting us know we don’t have to be afraid or fear anything. Do you have any fears that are standing in the way of receiving blessings from the Lord? Fear can make it hard to hear God speak to us and block our prayers. Our journey with the pandemic is not quite over, but there is a glimmer of hope that some normalcy will return in our life prayerfully soon. There is still hope!

Henceforth, it is time for us to truly trust God for more memorable days and the desires of our hearts. Trust God for your relationships, new, rekindled, and those that need a complete makeover. Do you look forward to some of your struggles being over? Is self-encouragement a part of your daily ritual? I believe brighter days are nigh, and God will fulfill my heart’s desires-especially the relationship ones. Sometimes God allows me to feel others’ heartache. Everyone needs an uplifting and encouraging word from time to time. Are you experiencing any suffering this moment due to any relationship you may be in, whether single or married? There is still hope!

Moreover, do you feel that you lack the faith you need to sustain yourself during this season? Are you unable to boldly face your tomorrows? Do you think you will remain in your storm longer? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, take a moment right now to speak to your situation and command yourself in Jesus’ name to be whole and set free. There is still hope! Do you have hope? If you don’t, I pray for your emotional healing in Jesus’ name.

To conclude, keep your eyes lifted toward the hills from whence cometh our help. All help comes from the Lord. Don’t be weary in well-doing. Fight the good fight. Pray for someone who is struggling or in despair. When we intercede for someone else, we often get a blessing. For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. Ecclesiastes 9:4. I’ll be back next week with a new post, “A Godwink!”

Be encouraged, and God bless!
