"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"
-- John 16:33 / New King James Version
There are few sadder sights on earth than the night of a person who has lost all hope. In difficult times, hopecan be elusive, but Christians need never lose it. After all, God is good. His love endures ; He has promised His children the gift of eternal life.
If you find yourself falling into the spiritual traps of worry and discouragement, consider the words of Jesus. It was Christ who promised, "In the word you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." This world is indeed a place of trials and tribulations, but as believers, we are secure. God has promised us peace, joy and eternal life.

Lord, let our hopes always reside in You. If we become discouraged, let us turn to You. If we grown tired, let us find strength in You. You are our Father, and we will place our faith, our trust, and our hopes in You.
