Hope

"I will praise the LORD at all times.

I will constantly speak his praises.
I will boast only in the LORD;
let all who are helpless take heart.


Come, let us tell of the LORD's greatness;
let us exalt his name together.

"I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears."


Psalm 34:1–4


"Are you feeling helpless or afraid? The antidote is to focus on God. There are many things we can't control, and we can feel helpless about our situations, other people, and even our own ability to change. But we can look to God, who is never helpless. In fact, he wants us in our helplessness to turn to him so we can experience his great power. Focus on the Lord, not your uncontrollable situation. Tell someone about something wonderful God has done for you. You've got a great God; boast about him and watch your helplessness evaporate!"
