Can Despair Rob You of Hope?

Join our conversation!Welcome... to Let’s Journey Together- a Moment with Father. I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.Does despair rob you of hope? It most certainly can.If I focus on a negative situation, it seems to grow and take on a life of its own. After a while, the situation becomes a barricade separating me from hope. It’s during that separation I can easily slip into a victim mentality of, “Why me?” I don’t believe I’m alone here. Yet, when I choose to exude gratitude, the enemy’s plot to steal, kill, and destroy my hope is diverted. Not. Today. Satan.How often do you display gratitude? Let’s express some gratitude together.Thank You, LORD—Your love breathes life into me. —Your strength helps me stand when I am weak. —Your peace steadies the chaos surrounding me. —Your mercy is new every day, and I feel it. —Your Word is Truth, and Your Word—Jesus, has set me free.I am grateful because You see me and give me strength.“The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.” Psalm 29:11 NIVOh, my brothers and sisters say it with me, “Blessed am I for my GOD sees me and cares for me.”What a wonderful way to start and end our day — being thankful for He is our good, good God.Let’s journey together Praise You, Abba. Your love sustains me. Your word gives me purpose and truth. You steady me in the chaos. Your strength keeps me upright. Thank You for loving me. No. Matter. What.  Guide me this day in Your will and Your way. Hallelujah.Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.Staying Real Just Got Easier!Discover Your God-Designed PersonalityFollow Linda Goldfarb on FacebookLeave a comment for Linda and HeatherCheck out Linda's BooksCheck out Heather's Books
