Lamentations 3:24 ಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಉಚಿತ ಓದುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆರಾಧನೆಗಳು

Do you have the feeling that no one really gets you—even your friends? Do you long for close relationships, but haven’t been able to find them? Not only does God promise to be close to us, he also provides companionship—and through his church, he even gives us a family.

Grief is real—and it hurts. It isn’t something you can ignore, bury beneath the demands of daily life, or wish away overnight. You have to work through it. Rest assured, you can get beyond your grief. God doesn’t expect you to go through it alone—He promises to be with you every step of the way.

Hope is a word we all throw around a lot: hope you get better soon, hope you’re well. At Hope 103.2, it’s said hundreds of times on air every day. Yet what’s contained in this short word is a big deal. When life gets tough and we find ourselves losing our hope - God reminds us that we can put our hope in Him.

When others break our trust, when the way forward seems uncertain, we can become doubtful and untrusting. Even when we are confident that God is present, it can be very difficult to trust God at all times. Some of us might even wonder if God is there at all. When life has us on shaky ground, we can turn to God’s Word for assurance and direction, and to increase faith.

Mountain climbers call the area above 26,247 feet on Mount Everest the “death zone,” because thin air makes people weak and prone to fatal mistakes. Though most of us never plan to scale Everest, we understand the struggle to breathe, think clearly, and find the will to conquer life’s toughest obstacles. This week, Mercy House founder Kristen Welch offers a new view of life’s mountains, plus strategies for conquering them.

In the face of global fear and economic upheaval concerning the Coronavirus, how are we as Christians to respond to this alarming situation? I pray the Scriptures in this reading plan will help you overcome fear and panic, strengthen you, and fill you with supernatural courage and hope! For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!

Over the next few days, we are going to bombard your heart and mind with timeless, unchangeable truth from God’s Word that will act as a heavenly vaccine, inoculating you against fear, anxiety, and worry.

Times are tough. Anxiety can grow inside us like a contagion as we battle external stress and internal doubt. Jesus knew that the better we know our Father, the less reason we’ll have to be anxious. In Matthew 6, Jesus draws us back to our Father, the One who sees us, knows our needs, and provides hope.

Regardless of what your start in life may have been, Jesus has made a way for you to become a new creation. He takes all the disappointments, despair, and destruction that may have swept through your life in the past, and at the point of His Cross, gives you a brand new start. Faith in God’s faithfulness is what makes your faith so powerful. It’s time for a faith-lift.

Advent takes us up to Christmas, but what comes next? The decorations come down, the house is empty, and we're left looking for hope in a new year. These reflections remind us that our hope for change isn't in the clock striking midnight, but Christ's presence in our everyday lives.
