Romans 8:24-25
"24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
it's hard for me to write about hope right now, as I am moving through a time of battle that is making hope seem most elusive and out of reach. I came across Romans 8:24-25 today. Right now I realise why and how hope can be attempted to be beaten out of me, because by its very nature it is anchored in things that are yet unseen and realised. Without hope we cannot have faith, and without faith we cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6) So today I come to the conclusion that it will indeed be very pleasing to my father God if I confess the attack of hopelessness I'm battling with, and repent for my participation with its lies and in faith ask the Lord to increase my faith and my hope so that I can be better anchored in the things God has promised.

Heavenly Father, Lord, I lift up to You this sense of hopelessness, I do not want it Lord, I lay it tye foot of the cross Lord Jesus, please take it from me. Help me Lord to wait calmly, gratefully, patiently and joyfully in hope for ALL that You are lining me up with. Holy Spirit, lead me into your Word and speak to me the promises you desire for me to be anchored in. Sing them in my heart and mind Lord.help me Jesus to grab hold you. Fan the quiet flame of hope that's hidden deep inside me somewhere, fan it into a bright burning fire that is a beacon for others Lord. Help me be a bringer of hope to others as You bring me deeper into hope x Anchor my soul in the hope of you Lord x in Jesus name i pray x Amen
