There is no doubt we are all bone-tired weary – and every day it feels harder and harder to hang on to hope and trust as the year draws to a close. But make no mistake about it, no one knows our weariness better than Jesus Christ – and it is God "who bends down to us and hears our cry" (Psalm 40:2). There is joy in knowing we do not have to face these days alone. Trust that God goes before us – and Jesus goes with us – every step of each day. And that is hope worth hanging on to!
