There is nothing as painful as searching for help from God through prayer and feeling like He is not answering you.
When the future seems hopeless, and you feel like you’ve come to a dead end, seek answers in the book of truth, which is the Bible.
Let’s read a couple of scriptures that will birth hope in your heart:
Isaiah 54:7-8, KJV
“For a small moment have I forsaken you, but with great mercies, I will gather you. In a little while, I have hid my face from you, but with everlasting kindness, I will have mercy on you, saith the Lord your Redeemer”.
Lamentations 3:24-25, KJV
“The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; Therefore I will hope in Him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for Him, unto the soul that seeks Him”.
The scriptures above prove that God does not desert His people forever. Every so often, it might feel like God is delaying you.
In that regard, don’t rush to birth an Ishmael like Sarah did in Genesis 16:2, when she coerced her husband Abraham to impregnate her maid as a surrogate because she felt like God was delaying her from conceiving a child.
When the future seems hopeless, rest assured that God is up to something good that will benefit you and advance His kingdom as well.
Let’s look at a few scriptures:
1 Peter 1-6-7,
“Be glad, there is a wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world”.
When the future seems hopeless, rest assured that there is joy ahead. While Jesus was dying on the cross, all hope seemed lost. He was mocked, ridiculed and humiliated.
They put a crown of thorn on His head and pushed it down His scull as blood flowed down his face. All hope seemed lost, but God had a plan, there was a resurrection.
Perhaps you’ve passed through many trials and adversities. Remember, there is no victory without a fight and there is no crown without a cross.
God is about to surprise you, God is about to give you double for your trouble. The best years of your life are ahead of you.
God is about to put a smile on your face again and reimburse you for everything you’ve lost.
Remember, when you feel hopeless, get even closer to God through prayers, worship and reading the Bible.
