It’s crazy to think that the eyes of our hearts could be blinded by darkness instead of enlightened by the hope of our calling in Christ Jesus. The central issue here is an issue of hope.
We hope for things to happen and if they don’t happen we fall into despair and despondency and then we try to satisfy those feelings by spiraling down the sin trail. The answer here is to hope in Christ’s work at the cross and the promises of the gospel. This is our calling. We are called to follow Christ and hope in what he has promised.
Spend some time praying according to the points below:
1: Admit your weaknesses, sin and needs to the Lord.
2: Pray for help, provision, self-forgetfulness, clarity and strength.
3: Trust in Christ by confessing your struggle with trusting him.
4: Ask the Lord to help you act in ways that are pleasing to him.
5: Thank God for the promises of the gospel.
