Romans 15: 13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We never have to be without hope because God sent us the Holy Spirit through whom we always have hope. And in hope we can be continuously filled with joy and peace. When you let go of hope you will find that joy and peace leave as well. But we can always abide with all three because wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is hope.
I know the situation looks bleak. I know that the people involved in your crisis do not appear in the least cooperative but don’t forget God. He is able to work out the most contrary and difficult conditions. There is no such thing as hopelessness in God. So, if you are feeling hopeless you just need to press into God and let Him minister hope to your heart. No matter what we say, feel or think, there is always an element that must be figured in. That is the power of the living God. Regardless of the appearance of things He is able to trump all and turn a bad situation around to your good. Don’t give up. Hang in there until the end. Don’t quit believing and hoping. In the end, you will see God’s deliverance.
