Warranted no hope?
First I want to say I hope and pray everyone here has happiness health love and financial success in thier life,
But my question is this: It's pretty easy for people to say their life is wonderful when you have all the things I mentioned above....
But should you face a time where you are in a situation of enormous calamity, a massive earthquake, hurricaine( which many people have suffered) anyways you lost part of your limbs, your family perished, you lost your wordly posessions, where would you draw your Strength, Hope and desire to persevere from??
Where would you draw your strength from?

great question- I am a believer in Jesus, and He is my hope. No, I am not having an "easy" life where I am happy all the time with health and financial success. Actually for the majority of my 49 years on earth, I have struggled with a chronic illness that causes severe pain, most of the time. My husband is permanently disabled, and because of these things, we are not financial successful either, so I have learned to not trust in my strength, I have none, or money, we have VERY little. I have learned to trust in the Name that gives hope- and His Name is Jesus. He is my hope and my salvation!!

Well lets just say I have been thru hurricane madness, and people freaking out all around me, I live near the ocean but not on the ocean and anyway I prayed and I slept through it knowing that I was secure and I put my faith in God to get me through it. When I woke up there was alot of wind whipping and through my shutters etc... scarey was the sound for sure!
The eye came through and I saw people scrambling around trying to secure what was blown apart real quick before the can took over again and I helped a few of them with drinks and whatnot as I had an abundance left over and my power had just gone out.... and then resumed to watch the hurricane blow apart my fence and trees fell down here and there.... etc... Got through it with Gods grace!

She of course desires grief counseling. No mom is meant to have a baby die before her, notably an toddler. that's almost impossible to choose what your sister might properly be feeling approximately this tragic loss. verify together with her scientific insurance provider to discover a competent counselor. If she does not have insurance touch the community wellbeing branch to discover a referral for a therapist or counselor for decreased value or for loose from the county. I prefer you all the main suitable of luck and God's convenience, help and love in this time.

My hope comes from Jesus Christ. Jesus said I would have tribulation and trials in this life. But....this life is very short compared to all of eternity, and I will be with Him one day when there will be no more sorrow or tears. Also, in every storm, He is with me. I have also found, just as the bible tells me, that trials produce strength and character and perseverence. God works everything for good for those who love Him.

My finance sutuation is not too good and I get down a lot of times. What helps me is when I think about someone worst off than me. Like the other day when I saw a young homeless lady I just though to myself it could be worst off.

Likewise, I would like to wish you happiness, health, love, and financial success in your life.
All these things I currently enjoy, and they were all given to me out of the abundance of the grace of God. In the event one or all are taken from me, I pray that I may be able to respond after the example of the LORD's faithful servant Job.
In the first chapter of Job, verse 21, Job responds to the calamities befallen him saying, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."
If all of these terrible plights did befall me, I'm doubtful of my ability to respond as Job did, with absolute faith and trust in God. If per chance I did manage to respond as Job did, this too would be a grace from God Almighty. Certainly, it takes more grace to bless the name of the LORD in times of personal peril and calamity than it does in times of health, fortune and prosperity.

Personally, I would get my strength from God, like I've done in the past, and hope for better days to come. Many years ago I lost it all, and now I have it back again, and more, thanks to Him.

Hey, I'm still alive, right?
Who needs more than that?
