Hope

I loved this post from Lisa Burgess:

When we need hope, "the real source of help is that the Spirit of the Lord is among us.

It is God’s presence that matters most.

His presence is more powerful than any prayer I can lift. His presence is no daydream or illusion but a fact and  my reality. He is here; he is with us; he is present.

And there is my hope: in the power of his presence.

Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!Psalm 105:4

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.Psalm 16:11

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.Romans 12:12
