Hope was given to you

Hope isn’t something you earn—it’s something you received. Paul says plainly, “We were given this hope when we were saved” (Romans 8:24). That means hope isn’t waiting in your future; it’s already present in your life through Christ.

When you feel weak, God is your strength. When you feel lost, He is your guide. When fear creeps in, He is your peace. Holding to hope is remembering who you are and whose you are—even on hard days.

The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. That truth alone changes everything. Today, don’t wait for hope—live from it.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for the hope You’ve already placed within me. Help me live from that truth, especially when I feel weak or discouraged. Amen.
