Hope for Today: Devotions for Depression & AnxietySample

Hopeful Expectation

As children are completely dependent on their parents to provide what they cannot, so are we dependent on God. For some of us, it is harder to lean into our needs. When we find ourselves out of our depths and overcome with helplessness, where do we turn? There are some circumstances that can’t be fixed by anything we could even dream of offering.

Where is our hope then? Is it in our own strength and capabilities, or does it lie in the one who formed us and all things around us? The Creator’s character is flawless and his faithfulness is unmatched. This limited life is not where the fulfillment of our expectations will be found though we have sweet glimpses of our eternal hope. There is coming a day where there will be no more tears or sadness, and the old will have passed away. Where does your confidence lie?

God overall, you are bigger than I can fathom. I’m so grateful that you see from a higher perspective than I do. I ask for your holy hope to fill my heart today with the confidence of your goodness. You are worthy!
