We all have ideas, hopes and dreams that we believe the Lord has placed in our hearts and minds. Our faith confesses, I am going to trust and depend on God to help fulfill these plans! As time goes on, and our prayers seem to go unanswered, and disappointing problems keep coming at us, it is easy to get discouraged and feel overwhelmed about our life situation and future. At times like these, we must remember that God loves us unconditionally, more than we can comprehend, and He is always working out goodness toward us. Sometimes this is hard to grasp, because we cannot see the whole picture and plan. But we must choose to be brave and have good courage, as we hold on to the faithfulness of God.Then He will liberate us from our down feelings, and help us move forward, as we wait, hope, and expect the Lord!

“[What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord” (Psalm 27:13-14).
