Hope for Challenging TimesSample

Jesus Comes Bursting Through
No matter how dark and gloomy things are, Jesus can turn things around in an instant. When you’ve been going through a trial and weariness is weighing you down, it’s tempting to become negative and angry. The enemy loves to remind us how bad things are. He wants us to be consumed with despair. The good news is that hopelessness and glory cannot coexist!
Stir up your praise and find things to be thankful for. Dance around the room and do the opposite of what melancholy wants you to do. Shake off heaviness and become fascinated with Jesus. Let him love you and breathe life into the darkest places. The enemy may be attacking you, but Jesus’ light shines brightest in the darkness. Trials are opportunities to see God do amazing things! Don’t run from trials; find Jesus in the middle of them. Laugh in the face of them. Allow them to build patience. Let these trials become some of your greatest victories!
Jesus, no one cares for me more than you do. You’re faithful, and I believe you’re working behind the scenes on my behalf, right now! Come. I’m expecting your light and joy to burst in. Thank you for loving me so well.
Consider reading the scriptures from The Passion Translation (TPT).
