(From Chapter 1 page 1)
A Pastor once said: “If we live long enough, we will all face situations that seem hopeless. It is during these times that we will either allow God to teach us or we will allow Satan to destroy us. The choice is ours.”
Hope is defined as: “a feeling that what is wanted will happen, desire accompanied by expectation.” When your world is rocked by separation and divorce, hope usually leaves with the ex-spouse. Maybe you once hoped and dreamed for a long and happy marriage. You wanted your children to have a safe and happy home with both parents sharing in their life. You hoped to have a home for your grown children and grandchildren to visit. You looked forward to your senior years when you could retire and maybe travel with your spouse and visit places, family and friends. But now you have no hope for these things to happen. You have gone from having hope to feeling hopeless. However, there is someone in whom you can place your hope that will never let you down. That someone is God.
Jesus said: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 ESV)
