How do we persevere when times are hard? When optimistic platitudes fail us and a positive attitude feels impossible, God gives us true hope through the promises of his Word. Christian hope isn't flimsy and self-made. It is a sustaining certainty because it is not based on our state of mind but on the security of the character of God consistently and reliably expressed through his promises. In this 31-day devotional, John Crotts brings hope to the hearts of troubled Christians, using Scripture to lift us toward Jesus Christ, the anchor of our souls and the friend of sinners. See how God's power, plans, promises, and personal concerns offer substantive hope for every kind of trial and failure, and use the practical exercises and thought questions to grow your hope every day.
