Giving Up Hope

Scripture: Acts 27: [20] When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.

Observation: Most of my life I gave up hope, if I even had any in the first place. I didn’t even know about being saved I thought I was here all alone. I wanted to perish, life here was too hard and hurt so bad. I was headed for doom and couldn’t take it anymore, I had no hope.

Application: Jesus changed this for me and gave me hope and showed me the way out of my pain and hopelessness. I know He is asking me to guide others to Him so they may be able to live a life of fullness.

Prayer: My Lord guide me and show me how to touch others in your name. Use me tomorrow to give someone who has lost hope a chance to speak with you and that you would comfort them as you did me.
