Find Hope In Hopelessness
In our current life right now, we could be facing many different situations or problems that are so real that cause us to feel hopeless. Feeling of hopelessness will make a person forget grace. However, the truth is in Christ, it is always hopeful. Jesus Christ has never stop working in our life or given up on us (how Naomi and us could feel many a times when we are locked in our emotions). It is all part of His plan. The key factor is whether we are able to see His hidden works in our hopelessness. We need pray against the feeling of hopelessness, to be sensitive towards His convictions, which will give us strength to resolute to follow God and see His hidden works. To the extent that one cannot have any hope in self but only in Christ.

Sufferings in the Presence of Divine Relationship
What really torments a Christian during sufferings? There are countless answers to this question. Yet, the most direct and underlying reason behind this torment is a Christian’s “sense of abandonment”. It simply feels like, “NO ONE is on my side anymore. No one can understand or can help me. Even God has forsaken me because of my sins and mistakes. I am left alone to face the frightening consequences.” Truly, when we accept such deceptive voices into our spirit, every twinge of pain seems punitive and endless. We will try to make sense of everything except the love of God.
In the Bible, even the blameless Job could not make any sense of his sufferings. Therefore, God, in one of His greatest revelations, has given us <Romans 8>. This glorious chapter in the Bible seeks to address the sense of abandonment that children of God may experience during pain and sufferings. So yield your mind not to what you feel, but to the truth especially such times.
