Are you going through a hard time right now?
While we can’t ‘command’ happiness when life is tough, we can ask God for a joy-filled hope that goes deeper than happiness.
As God’s kids, we can rejoice in the hope that one day we will meet our Saviour Jesus face to face, and he will take us to our true home, free of pain or sadness.
Be patient. Hold on to Jesus. And don’t stop praying for him to give you victory over your circumstances.
He is faithful and he will help you through.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
Romans 12 NIV
It's a God thing... 
Somehow I had forgotten about this verse! So so good. Thank you, Ali!
It’s good to be reminded of encouraging verses isn’t it? God bless you Deb!
This was incredibly encouraging. Thank you so much for sharing. It’s amazing how God puts people in your path with encouraging words right when you need them.
I’m glad it was encouraging, Mack 🙂 God is amazing like that!
Just discovered and following your blog now. Good verse for Sunday morning or any morning! I have been facing some challenges and in prayer, talk with God about what is it, He wants me to see or learn during this time.
Thanks for the follow, Rick. May you continue to seek God in prayer, and find the answers you need. Keep reading his Word – he’ll help you.
