Holding On to Hope

Hope isn’t just a feeling—it’s a decision. In seasons of uncertainty, when it feels like nothing is moving forward, hope becomes a quiet act of defiance against fear. David, the psalmist, didn’t praise God because everything was perfect. He praised Him because He knew God was still good.

When you don’t see answers, when the door remains closed, when the healing hasn’t come—choosing hope says, “I still believe God is with me. I still believe He’s working.” This kind of hope doesn’t ignore pain; it simply refuses to let the pain have the final word.

🙏 Prayer
Lord, even when life feels heavy and unclear, I choose to hope in You. Strengthen my heart and help me worship through the waiting. Let my praise be louder than my doubt. Amen.
