Hebrews 6:19
When Waves of Hopelessness Pound Your Heart
You need hope. I need hope. Our loved ones need hope. Where do we find it? Do we practice “self-talk” and tell ourselves we are “happy and fine” when we aren’t? Or do we kneel, look up in praise, and cry out to the One who has gone before us to heaven and who intercedes for us?
Hebrews 6:19 describes our relationship with Jesus and why we can have genuine hope. “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered…”
Our hope in Jesus is an anchor for our soul. Personalize that truth. My hope in Jesus is an anchor for my soul. Think about that. It’s amazing. We don’t have to be carried by waves of hopelessness into an ocean of despair. Yes, waves of hopelessness may at times seem like they will overwhelm us. But when you feel that way, place your hope in the Savior. You are not going to drift beyond His sight or hand. He’s got you. Our hope in Christ is an anchor for our soul.
Jesus, sweet Savior, thank You for being the One in whom my soul is anchored; for being the ANCHOR OF MY SOUL. I praise You that I will never drift from Your hold.

Praise the ANCHOR of the SOUL

Do you ever feel like you’re drifting in your walk with God? Perhaps you were once closer to Him, but now struggle to have a few minutes of prayer. Maybe what never would have been a temptation is now a daily struggle. Perhaps you’re drowning in a sea of responsibility, and waves of pressure overwhelm you. You don’t know how you can go on. Friend, in whatever situation we find ourselves, Christ is the ANCHOR OF OUR SOUL. He cares about our mind, emotions, will, and spirit. Rather than drift, struggle, or sink, we can fix our eyes on Him.
Lord Jesus, we praise You, the ANCHOR OF OUR SOUL. Thank You for eternally anchoring us to the glory of Your presence.
