God Restores Our Hope

Verses: Psalms 85: 1 - 13

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.

My thoughts about the verses:

God listens to those that trust the Heavenly Parent.  It is in those moments we look back at our past and remember what God has done before.  We pray to God to help us. 

We find in those moments the hope that we need.  It is when you are at your lowest that you learn to depend on God.  You plead for the one that can save the world to save you from what you’re facing.  You soon learn that God is always there.

God restores our Hope because it is the love of God that we need.  It is the inner feeling of security that comes from knowing God will get you through all things.  No matter how grim the situation feels there is an answer.  The answer comes from God.

Looking over my life I have seen people with great faith.  It seems that no matter what is going on their life they have no fear.  They offer praise to God in their lowest moments.  They know that God will help them.  This comes from knowing what God has done in their past.

Look at your own life.  Can you think back to those moments when you thought all hope was lost?  That there were no way you would make it out of a situation.  Then miraculously God provides the way out. 

Did this not restore you hope?  I know that for me there have been moments that I felt were impossible to handle.  Then all of a sudden a miracle happens.  A good day appears out of nowhere.  It is at those moments that I realize that God is always there.  It is up to me to ask God to help.

Prayer:

We praise you for restoring us.  We honor you for the love you give us.  We worship you with glad hearts.  We love you for being with us in all things.  Help us to always turn over our struggles to you.  Dear God we ask that you help us overcome the fear in our life.  In your Holy Name we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Are you struggling with fear and doubt?  Are you afraid that you are going through things on your own?  Have you looked back at the past and seen how God got you through past struggles?  Are you willing to let go of your fear and allow God to Restore your Hope?
