...You must not give up the hope you received when you heard the good news. It was preached to everyone on earth... ~ Colossians 1:23 (CEV)
Thank you, Lord, for giving us hope. There is a lot in life that is discouraging. Sometimes I give in and get discouraged. I shouldn't. I pray that when I start to feel troubled, that you would remind me of my hope. The good news -- the gospel -- is way bigger and more powerful than the problems I am facing. You are in the process of repairing the entire world. And I am grateful to be a part of what you are doing. I want to say something about the hope of Jesus with someone today. Please help me to do that. Amen.
