Your Question:
How do I keep going when everything feels so hopeless?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of hopelessness bearing down on you. As someone who has walked through the darkness of despair, I want to remind you that you are not alone. Hopelessness is a battle we all face at some point in our lives, but it's not a battle we have to fight alone. I want to encourage you to take action in the present, to take small steps towards hope, even when it feels like a long shot. Consider that your present hopelessness is sin. Either you have put your trust in something other than Christ, or you have doubted God's truth. But here's the good news: God not only forgives these sins, but he empowers you to overcome them. Cry out to Him, "Help!" Just as I did when I was facing a crisis in my life, deciding on my life's work after Bible college. I didn't know what to do, but I knew I had to trust in God's plan for me. As someone who has walked with God for 19 years, I can tell you that hope is a choice. It's a choice to trust in God's goodness, even when it doesn't make sense. It's a choice to remember and meditate on God's story, to seek Him in His temple. And it's a choice to take small steps towards hope, even when it feels like a long shot. So, my friend, I want to encourage you to take that first step. Take a deep breath, and cry out to God. He is faithful, and He will meet you in the midst of your hopelessness.
