Trusting God Beyond Hope
"Faith takes hope to the next level. Faith is having the confidence that everything we are hoping for will come to pass." - Wesleyne
Word of the Day:
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1
In this episode, we explore the profound concept of unshakable faith, drawing insights from Hebrews 11:1. Faith is depicted as more than mere hope; it is the confident assurance in God's promises. The message emphasizes that faith in God is the key to navigating life's uncertainties and challenges. By repenting, laying down our burdens, and maintaining unwavering faith, we align ourselves with God's plan, trusting Him to work in our lives even when the outcome is unseen. This journey involves continual prayer, repentance, and a steadfast belief that God will fulfill His promises in His perfect timing.
Takeaways:
- When feeling defeated, remember that God is not a God of defeat.
- Negative emotions are tools of the enemy and should not be embraced.
- Letting go of control and surrendering to God allows Him to work in our lives.
- Fully surrendering to God means taking our hands off the situation and trusting Him completely.
- Continually release worries and anxieties to God, trusting that He will take care of them.

Lord, we love you so very much and we thank you for always for giving us of every sin that we have done, the sins that we know of and the sins that we know not of. Lord, carry us through this day. Give us peace that surpasses all human understanding. In your son Jesus' name we pray, amen.
