You need hope for the entrepreneurship journey

Being a business owner is exciting, fun, inspiring, joyful, and purposeful. But you need hope for the entrepreneurship journey to stay positive and have the strength to follow your dreams and achieve your goals. Hope is the desire that keeps you moving forward. You need hope and a positive mindset to stay motivated, to put one foot in front of the other when the excitement has waned and doubt has arrived. Hopeful expectation will help you see a light at the end of the tunnel, and your effort and dedication will produce results. Put your hope in the Lord. The psalmist in Psalm 32 says, "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 be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you." In Psalm 130:7, we read, "Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption." She never gave up. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, we are told the story of the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years. According to doctors, there was no cure, nothing anyone could do for her. But she didn't give up hope. She had faith. When she learned about Jesus, she believed that He was the chosen one, the Messiah. Through faith in Him, she had hope that He could heal her. Her faith was so strong that she believed that if she couldn't get to Him if she could touch His robe, she'd be healed. And she was. A prayer for you I pray over you today, friend. Lord, thank you for the hope you have given us through Jesus and your limitless gifts of hope, grace, and love. Please calm this beautiful soul's heart and quiet her mind so she will hear you speaking to and guiding her. Grant her an elevation in her faith in you and hope in all things possible through that faith. You are so good, Lord. Help us take the hope found only in you and share it while using your gifts to serve others and bring glory to you through all we say and do, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
