The God of Hope

 Do you look at all your circumstances
 And you feel: At all there is no hope
 Are you troubled? Need some consolation? 
 Don’t despair; Our hope is not in things!
  
 Even when our world just crushes, shatters
 Don’t despair, still bow, still worship God
 For our God, He is the God of hope
 And our hope is God Himself, not things
  
 And the God of hope He can you fill
 With all joy and peace- this still believe!
 That you may abound in hope through power
 Through the power of the Holy Ghost
  
 Does the weight of all your sorrow crush you? 
 Do you feel in life you’re drowning quick?
 Friend have patience; troubles they won’t last
 We have hope through comfort of the Scriptures
  
 Look at Christ- He is our hope, our Savior!
 He will never leave, forsake His own
 He’s the God of patience, consolation
 You can trust Him friend; o wait on Him!
  
 We have hope! And let us join together
 And just worship Him, and thank Him much
 Let us praise the God who is our hope
 Let us glorify, and praise Him much!

• Thank You Father that through patience and comfort of the Scriptures I have hope

• Thank You Father that You are the God of Hope, and You fill me with joy and peace in believing. I abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost.

• I rejoice in hope. Thank you Father for giving me patience in tribulation and helping me to continue in prayer

• My faith and my hope is in God!

• Hope in God will never put me to shame or make me ashamed. Thank You Father that hope in God does not disappoint. I believe this and this is true in my life because my hope in not in better circumstances, my hope is not in “God doing things my way and how I want them”; my hope is in God. And You Lord will never disappoint me.

• I might be ridiculed or shamed publicly for my faith, but in nothing I shall be ashamed. Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain*

• Hope does not put me to shame or disappoints because I have the love of God that pours out of me by the Holy Ghost that is given to me.

*This is especially important to proclaim by faith when you do not feel like it- until it becomes a reality in your life. Actually, as I was writing this, I really did not feel like rejoicing in the trials and tribulation in my life. But my feeling are not to tell me what to do. Our soul (emotions) is not to govern us. Our spirit is to govern us. And our spirit is united with Christ. And I will proclaim the truth of God and renew my mind so that my mind will start to think the way the Scripture teaches.
