A friend of mine took the picture below. He and I, and four others took a little hike to a summit and as we were hiking up we were assigned a rock to carry. The rock represented a burden. A personal burden, a family burden, and a ministry/work related burden. We walked in silence as we offered the burdens to God. Each of us had to carry every one's rock for part of the trek up the mountain. Upon reaching the top and looking out over a beautiful bluff we built the little altar to God, took the Lord's Supper and were encouraged to offer our concerns to God and help one another. I want to encourage you to offer your concerns to God and give and receive help. Do not go it alone. Take a moment. Give the worries on your mind and heart to God. Call someone this eve and give them an encouraging word. Be ready to receive help and give help.
Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b
