Holding on to hope…. (devo reflection)

Romans 8:22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.   

Precious Savior, Thank You for the gift of hope, which is so incredibly important. Help me, daily, find ways to hold on to hope, no matter my circumstances, my doubts, my fears.

Romans 8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

Lord, Thank You for the gift of Your blessings. You lavish me with blessings daily–sunshine, friendship, hope, joy. Help me to always be on the lookout for Your blessings as they are always around me.

Romans 8:24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?

Jesus, Thank You for the gift of renewal. I’m tired. So tired. But I know I don’t have to shoulder my burdens alone. I know that You are with me. I know that You love me. I know that I have hope through You, with You, in You. Thank You. Amen.

Romans 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Have a blessed day.
