  • When life is the roughest, what gives you the most hope or encouragement?
  • What actions can provide the most hope?

START PRAYING

Be bold and pray with power. 

Father,

Remind me that you are the one who provides us with hope. Teach me how to pass on your hope to those who need it, even if that person is me. Reveal to me where you are in my life so that I may have more security and hope in my life.

Amen and amen.

START DOING

Commit to a step and live it out this week. 

  1. Pray for Shawn, Deanna, and family.
  2. Do a word study using the word “HOPE”.
  3. Take note if your words contain hope, pain, gossip, etc.
  4. Look for ways to encourage someone or to give another hope.
  • Pick one or two of those options and take steps to walk them out this week.
