We are all fighting battles, and sometimes those battles almost destroy us. There is so much hardship, heartache, hurt, and uncertainty in the world. It’s not supposed to be this way! BUT – My hope comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth. He doesn’t promise that this life will be easy, but He does promise that He will never leave us or forsake us. He also promises an eternity with Him if we believe in Him.

Books
The Holy Bible
This is the place to start if you’re looking for hope. The story of God, His people, and His son is the ultimate hope for forgiveness and eternal life. I recommend starting with the gospels in the New Testament, which are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
