27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Message
Hope is a feeling of trust, expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen – Oxford dictionary. We often hear people say “that’s a hopeless case”. For men, it can be true, but with our God, there is no hopeless situation. Have you thought about the case of Lazarus in the Bible? Someone who died and had been buried for four days. Humanly speaking, his case was hopeless. Jesus, our Saviour and Redeemer Who lives forever stepped in, and the situation turned around. The hopeless situation turned into a new spring of hope and every tear was wiped away.
The situations in our lives can never remain the same when we give Jesus a chance to come in. If you are still living in sin, you need to give up the life of sin and allow Jesus into your heart today. Confess all your sins to Him, ask for forgiveness and pardon. Surrender your heart and every affair of your life to Him, and promise Him you will not go back to your sins again. Then tell Him about the hopeless situation in your life. Watch in faith as you experience a total turnaround.
Further Reading: Romans 5:1-5
Prayer for today: Dear Father, I trust in You, turn all hopeless situation around in my life for good.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
