{week 4} Hope

Artwork Source

“In the security of our relationship with Christ, God wants us to ask questions and look for answers that usher us into the depths of His redeeming love. He wants to give us the courage to live in the promise that He offers hope for our future despite the pain of our past.
from Chapter 4, A Confident Heart

Our Word for the week: HOPE
(Download in a PDF or download in MSWord). Please print it and post it everywhere this week.

HIS Word for us this week:
“May the God of hope fill [me] with all joy and peace as [I] trust in him, so that [I] may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13, NIV

Today’s Assignment:
Read the prayer at the end of Chapter 4 to begin your day. Then start or continue reading chapter 4. Remember to take your time and highlight or underline sentences that resonate in your heart.

Connecting in Community:
As we read chapter4 this week, let’s share here – answers to the questions, sentences we’re highlighting, thoughts we’re thinking, feelings and fears we’re experiencing. This can be a hard chapter for some because it addresses our past and our pain. Let’s pray for each other each day and commit to memorize this week’s verse together! If you are in, leave a comment by clicking on “share your thoughts” and tell us how you plan to memorize it. I’m writing it on a ceramic plate in my kitchen. I’ll be praying it for you every time I see it.

Whether someone tells you today or not – You matter. What you do as a mom makes a difference. God sees you and your sacrificial love touches His heart. It touches mine too and today I honor you and send my love your way. Praying He will infuse you with strength, lavish you with dignity, and remind you of the value you have in His eyes (even if they forget to send flowers, cards or say things that make you feel that appreciate you long for.)

And for my precious friends who may not be moms - I celebrate and thank Jesus for you today, too. You hold the beauty of a heart that gives, loves, nurtures, creates, sacrifices and invests. As a woman, you have the heart of a mom. And though your arms or your womb may not carry the child you long for, YOU are celebrated and cherished in our hearts today.

Happy Mothers Day!
