Hope is the anchor of our soul. Our hope is rooted in the promises of God. These promises are certain and settled. We are confident that what He said, He will accomplish. His word is settled and sure. Our hope is secure.
Hebrews 10:22-24 NASB
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works.”

Psalm 37:3-7 NASB “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.

God is My Refuge
Psalm 32:6–7
Psalm 91 talks about dwelling in the shelter of the Most High and abiding in the shadow of the almighty, that the Lord covers us with his pinions and there we find refuge under his wings.

Seek His Face
Psalm 27:4, Psalm 27:7–9
In Jeremiah 31 God promises that if we seek Him with all of our heart, He will be found by us. We have His word on this. So today, Lord, we ask you for undivided hearts as we seek your face through your Living Word. Psalm 27:4, 7-9a NASB “One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord. All the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, and be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I shall seek. Do not hide Your face from me.”
