There are seasons in life when the night of despair seems endless. Maybe you’re living in such a night right now. The cold winds of grief, disappointment, and uncertainty howl threatening the walls of your faith. In times like that optimism isn’t enough. What you need is a steadfast hope. A stubborn hope that refuses to doubt that God still cares even when the heavens have turned to brass, and your prayers seem to go unanswered.

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure…”

Lord, when the storms rage and our vision blurs, keep us anchored to Your unfailing love. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
