Finding Hope in Darkness

DAY 2 OF 5

 See God's Perspective 

Our perspective on a situation changes everything. Let's say you're looking straight ahead and there's a high wall with no openings. You know you need to get to the other side of the wall to survive, but you see no way to scale the smooth surface. Your immediate response would be despair and hopelessness. 

But what if you saw the situation from God's perspective? You would zoom out and see the rescue team hard at work to figure out how to get to you. You would view the helicopter flying to your aid that would soon be whirring above your head. You would see the people on the other side of the wall waiting for you with open arms.   

God is always at work directing, leading, guiding, rescuing, protecting, and providing for you. 

And as one of my friends recently said, "When it seems like all hope is lost, something amazing is about to happen."

When we see things from God's perspective, there is always a reason for hope. 

Ask God: Please show me how you see this situation and fill me with your hope.

About this Plan

Finding Hope in Darkness

In the midst of health concerns, economic uncertainty, and civil unrest, it's easy for our brains to succumb to fear and even despair. But as Christians, God calls us to be people of hope. No matter what is happening, we can choose the mindsets that move us from despair to hope and take the actions that shift us from surviving to thriving.
