20+ Bible Verses To Give You Hope TODAY

We need hope today, yesterday, and always.

War and rumors of war can put us on edge. As we see food prices rise once again, we can’t help but feel the pressure of providing for families and loved ones.

But let us hold fast to the author and finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ, that there is nothing new under the sun, and all these things must come to pass before His return (Matthew 24:6-8).

Instead, let us lean on the Holy Spirit to bring to mind the words of God, which are here to comfort us when we need them most.

Take this list, family, memorize these words, write them out, and put them on your walls, and in your cars so you may run to them when you feel the ground is unsteady at your feet.

Remember the Lord is with you and for you, and His word is your shield and your buckler.
