The Holy Spirit fills us with a living hope in the power of Christ’s resurrection.

John 16: 29-33.

While we cannot avoid all pain and suffering which may come our way in this life, the Lord Jesus assures us that he has overcome the world and all that would seek to keep us from his saving help and healing presence.
He promises to guide us safely through any trial or hardship we may have to undergo for his sake. The Lord Jesus gives us the gift of his Holy Spirit who strengthens us with faith, courage, and perseverance to stay the course which he has set for us.
The Holy Spirit fills us with a living hope in the power of Christ’s resurrection (1 Peter 1:3) and reassures our heart with a confident trust in God’s abiding presence.

Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ and the victory he has won for us (Romans 8:35-39). The Holy Spirit gives us the strength and courage we need to overcome every adversity and to persevere with faith and hope in God.
Lord Jesus, help me to trust in your unwavering love and saving help, (Don Schwager)
