Resurrection day means Jesus is alive. Jesus Christ was born a man, lived and had a ministry, he died on a cruel Roman cross and was resurrected the third day from the dead. His resurrection means we can have eternal life.

Yes, when we have hope, it makes us go faster. Hope propels us. Think about how much hope the Bible gives us. In the Bible God wins, the enemy, Satan looses. Men and Women created in the image of God have the opportunity to serve God and fulfill their destiny. Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

There is not a time we cannot hope in God. God is our hope. No matter how bad the situation is, we can always hope in God. God can fix even the impossible. Our hope in God is not in vain; in time God will help us.

God loves to hear prayer. He is a God who listens. Look at these verses on prayer in the Bible, God listens to every prayer. Have this confidence that in every pray, whether it be small or large, whether it be well phrased, or just a bunch of broken words, God listens. Sometimes what we think are the worst prayers, God just loves, since we are expressing our real feelings.
Psalms 66:19 But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Psalms 66:20 Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!

This last verse in James eventually refers to Elijah who in a very unique situation needed a prayer to bring God in to vindicate Himself. Elijah did pray and God did come in.
So never feel that God does not hear, He does hear and answer. p.s. answers do not always come how and when we expect them.

Never never get angry over your circumstances.

Never give up. Look at Hebews chapter 11, what is the result: God wins. Through thousands of years of problems, issues and opposition, God comes out on top. So never give up.

From Romans chapter 8, “.., to set the thoughts on the spirit is life and peace”. There is only one pace for peace, that is in God. Everywhere else is only a mirage of peace. In this world you will have tribulations. If you don’t have peace about something, just don’t do it.
