REJOICE AND EXULT IN HOPE - RAISE A SHOUT OF JOY!! You have good reason to be joyful, because you are on your way to heaven. I have paid the penalty for your sins and clothed you in My own righteousness. This is the basis of hope -- for you, for all who truly know Me as Savior. No matter what is going on in your life at this time, your hope in Me is secure. No One will be able to snatch you out of My hand. In Me you have absolute, eternal security!
Be constant in prayer -- at all times, but especially when you are struggling. During trials, you need close communication with Me more than ever. However, your ability to concentrate may be hampered by stress and fatigue. So make full use of the amazing source of strength within you -- My Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to control your mind: to think through you and pray through you. Your prayers need not be pretty or proper. Just let them flow out of your current situation. As you stay in communication with Me, I help you to be steadfast and patient in suffering.
