To live by faith is to hope in new things.
“Hope in Scripture is not wishful thinking but a confident, Spirit-wrought expectation that God will fulfill every promise He has made in Christ. It rests on the character of God and is secured by the resurrection of Jesus Christ” [BibleHub]
Is what you’re waiting for something He has promised?
Is it in line with His word and character?
Then, don’t you dare give up.
Ask to be filled, endure and conquer.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:13
Hope in what is promised.
Hope in the One Who promised.
Hope because He died for us.
Hope because of His resurrection.
Regardless of what comes our way, or what is happening in the world around us, we can say “amen, Lord”…
as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Romans 8:23-25

My journaling is in my faith journal which is a basic, blank, A5 notebook.
I used the following printables from Illustrated Faith’s digital Print Pray Shop:
I was going to print the “Hope & Amen” printable as is, but the Holy Spirit said no, make it as large as possible because our hope is huge. My printer printed vertical lines on the letters so I wrote on them the lyrics to a song called “There’s a River” by Erik Nieder.

🎶 I Speak Blessings ~ Delana Hope
Some days you wake up
Wondering if anything is shifting
But listen (things grow)
Things grow even in silence
God works even when you feel nothing at all
So don’t back down now
(Speak over what looks still)
Speak over what looks stuck
(Your words have weight)
Because God is backing them
(Tell your future what to do)
Tell your blessing (blessing where to land)
Tell your spirit to stand tall again
I speak blessings
I speak life into my house
I speak joy into my days
I speak peace to everything around me
I speak blessings
No fear, no lack, no delay
What God promised is coming
I speak it until I see it rise (it’s rising now)
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
