Jesus Christ, Our Living Hope

When you are mired in difficult, challenging circumstances, it can be hard to find joy in life. Maybe you’re facing a scary diagnosis, pleading for a breakthrough in your addiction, or waiting desperately for a solution to a lingering problem. You’re so wrapped up in the present moment that you can’t think about anything else.

The answer, always, is to turn to God. Surrender the struggle and repent of your need for control. Ask God to reveal ways you may be out of alignment with him. The solution to breakthrough doesn’t come from getting what you want; it comes from expanding your mind to see God’s kingdom perspective and then trusting Jesus with the outcome.

It’s normal and human to hope for earthly answers, but as you grow in your walk with Christ, you’ll learn to become more comfortable with the unknown and more comfortable with trusting him. All your answers might not appear right away, but when you live with God, you won’t need them to. You will know that He will always come through in His timing. Give him your burdens and grow in trust and wisdom, knowing that His way is always best.
