"But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord., I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8

"There is hope for your future, declares the Lord." Jeremiah 31:17

I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness , but will have the light of life." John 8:12

Funny how suddenly while you have going along just fine something will sideswipe you and leave you feeling powerless... it could be anything .. for everyone of us it is something different.
For me it was a negative thought that pounded at me .. leaving me feeling hopeless.
I have to ask myself though was I really going along just fine ...or had I missed a few times of meeting with the Lord ... I was slowly letting my guard down.

Missing time with Him and then wondering why we struggle is alot like this~
Eat whatever you want and never brush your teeth and never exercise ... never ever drink water and then find out your teeth is rotting you are overweight and dehydrated... and then look shocked as to how this could have possibly happen...

It's funny how a good routine can prevent so much!!!!

But there is hope for getting back to a good routine... don't be fooled into thinking this is religious... DO IT!!!!
It takes practice and determination... I for one am asking God to get me back into a place of dare I say "religious" time with Him and His Word.
