Don't Lose Your Hope!
 
  "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you
  trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power
  of the Holy Spirit."  Romans 15:13
 
Are you being tempted to lose your hope?  Are you ready to give up, choosing to believe all Satan's lies and his circumstances and not believe in God's truths and in the promises of God?  Have you lost your hope in the Lord God today?  Have you lost your hope in your life or marriage today?  Have you started losing your hope believing that your spouse will listen and obey God's voice to change and maybe even return home?  I know you may be battling the feelings and emotions of hopelessness, but don't give up!  Instead, ask the Holy Spirit to touch your heart, your mind and your emotions right now to receive God's truth and promises just for you or your marriage!  Our Lord God is a God of "hope"! And He is Great!
 
Are you tired or weary?  Are you tired of all the battles that you are having with your spouse, how about life and there just "never" seems to be any peace in your life or at home, or at least when your spouse is at home?
 
Do you need more strength to get through your daily responsibilities with your children and all that they are involved in plus your job and commitments?  Ask the Lord for His strength which only He can give you.  Will you chose to put all your hope in the Lord?  He will renew your strength!  Let me share a powerful scripture for you today:
 
  "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the
  everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will
  not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can
  fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power
  of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men
  stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew
  their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will
  run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." 
  Isaiah 40:28-31
 
If you put all your hope in the Lord, you are going to trust Him completely with your marriage, life and children.  Yes the Lord is the source of your help.  He is your refuge, your fortress.  You will be able to raise above all your problems like an eagle that soars into the sky.  This is our prayer everyday for those who are in a battle no matter the size of that battle, "May the God of hope fill each of you with His hope, joy and peace as nothing is too hard for God. Amen."  God is a God of hope!
 
  "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He
  alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will
  not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is
  my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at all times, O people;
  pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge."
  Psalm 62:5-8
 
What is "Hope?"  In the Bible dictionary it says: the confident expectancy.  In the Bible, the word "hope" stands for both the act of hoping and the things hoped for in the future.  Webster's Dictionary meaning says: a feeling that what is wanted will happen; desire accompanied by expectation.  The things that one has a hope for.  A reason for hope.   A person or thing on which one may base some hope.  Trust,  Reliance.  In the Nelson's Three- In-One Bible Reference Companion the meaning of hope is: reliance on God's blessing and provision; the expectation of future good.
 
Wow, give me hope!  My prayer is that you will have "confident expectancy" which is putting all your confidence in the Lord who will give you hope!  Genuine hope is not wishful thinking, but a firm assurance about things that are unseen and still in the future to come! It does not matter what you are facing today, place your hope on the Lord, He will not only see you through He will be and bring the Victory!
 
  "We continually remember before our God and Father our work
  produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your
  endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
  I Thessalonians 1:3
 
  "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of
  what we do not see."  Hebrew 11:1
 
Praise the Lord for God's Word.  There is power in God's Word. Are you studying God's Word daily?  Make time to meditate on God's Word, by studying God's Word and then start picking some powerful scriptures to memorize.  You will then be learning more each day and also growing in the Lord. 
    
What are you hoping for?  Is your hope for your spouse or your rebellious teenager to know the Lord?  Is it just life and all the things that it brings? Are you hoping, trusting and believing that the Lord will bring your spouse to a place where they will understand and know your love and the love of the Lord. Are you hoping, trusting and believing that the Lord will rebuild your marriage or your life on the solid rock of Jesus Christ and move it up to the next level?  Do not give up on God.  Do not look at your present circumstances.  Put your hope in the Lord and in the Word of God. 
 
 "I have put my hope in your word."  Psalm 119:74
 
Ask Him to fill you with all joy and peace so that you may overflow with "hope" by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Now, believe, and He will resurrect and rebuild your life, your marriage in His perfect timing!  Remember, stand firm with confident expectancy of your life your marriage being restored suddenly!
 
 "We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
  In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May
  your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our
  hope in you."  Psalm 33:20-22
 
His name is Jesus and there is hope and power in His name!
Jesus loves you so much!
