Life is tough; we face problems in relationships, careers,
families, finances, and every other situation involved in living on this broken
planet. God calls us to have hope and joy despite such challenges, even while
we grieve and suffer and hurt. I am particularly challenged in the
practicalities of having hope and believing that God can make the broken whole while at the same time not let it cut me right now.
Maybe you relate. Perhaps your marriage is broken and your
spouse has filed for divorce. Do you fight it or do you protect your future and
what is rightfully yours? When do you simply accept a new reality and move
forward? It could be that you have a life-threatening illness. Do you continue praying
for healing when the treatment is failing or prepare your family for your
death? How does hope work with the reality of life’s brokenness? How do we
continue to trust God and show deep faith when reality suggests otherwise?
