A Prayer For When There’s No Sign Things Are Getting Better

When We Want To Get Better

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When We Want To Get Better Sometimes when we want to get better, we begin by taking an honest look at ourselves. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts… and lead me in the way everlasting.” — from Psalm 139:23–24 The psalmist wasn’t asking God to search the hearts of friends or family, strangers or enemies. He was asking God to search his own. Growth isn’t about measuring ourselves against other people. It’s about honestly seeing where we are, where we hope to be, and being willing to let God guide us there. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When Fear Stops Us

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When Fear Stops Us Sometimes we fear the worst and refuse to try. Romans reminds us that we “did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear…” — from Romans 8:15. Some of our fears are well founded. We don’t deny the dangers or the risks. But we won’t be paralyzed by them either. Other fears are not well founded, and we refuse to become slaves to them. In both cases, we seek to make reality-based decisions, guided by faith and hope rather than constrained by fear. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When We’re Tired Of Hurting

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When We Are Tired of Hurting Sometimes we get tired of hurting. The pain is real, and the danger is too. But some kinds of pain lead to life. Romans reminds us that creation is “groaning together… in the pains of labor.” — Romans 8:22 Labor is painful, but it is also the way new possibilities become realities. When we find ourselves in this kind of pain, we are encouraged to hold onto hope and keep moving forward in love. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
