Your Question:
How do I keep my family from losing hope when I've lost mine?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've seen my fair share of struggles in our family. When I've lost hope, it's easy to feel like giving up. But I've learned that it's in those moments that we need to draw closer to God and to each other. One thing that's helped me is to pray specifically about the obstacles in our lives. I ask God to give me strength to overcome them and to continue drawing me to Himself. As a family, we've also found it helpful to have a mission statement that we can read and live by together. It's a reminder of our values and our commitment to each other. We review it regularly and make adjustments as needed. This helps us stay focused on what's truly important and keeps us from losing hope even when things get tough. It's also a good reminder that our family is a team, and we're in this together. In times of struggle, I've also found it helpful to remember that God is always working, even when we can't see it. He wants us to have hope, and He wants us to be faithful in prayer, not just to be successful. So even when it feels like nothing is happening, I keep praying and trusting that God is working in our lives. And I encourage my family to do the same. By staying focused on God and on each other, we can keep our hope alive, even in the toughest times.
