We face trials on a daily basis. Some days or weeks are worse than others. It seems that just when you feel like you've reached your end and can't handle anymore, there seems to be more. That was my week and I'm sure many others may feel the same way. "Where is God" we think secretly, even though we know His Word says He is with us all the time. "Why are these things happening", our reasons don't seem to satisfy us.
This week I had an encounter with a friend who shared a tragic situation with me. As I heard the story of fears, anger, disappointment I realized that I absolutely had no answers to give. All I could do was encourage my friend not to give up on God and His plan.
Hope is one of the strongest actions that I know. Hope drives us when there is nothing else to hang on to and it strengthens us for another day. Hope is the anchor of our soul, the voice of our prayers and the evidence of our faith.
I have always felt that there are answers to be sought, but I also believe that there are times when I must recognize God's sovereignty and find comfort in just trusting in Him sometimes must be enough. Letting my questions rest for the time being.
Just read this today which really encouraged me:

Hope doesn't disappoint us (Romans 5:5)
Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions: Wait for hope to appear. (Lamentations 3:29)
Though he slay me, I will hope in Him; yet I will argue my ways to His face. (Job 13:15)
