Strong and rooted,

Vibrant and fruitful,
Sheltering and comforting.

Week 5: Walking with Hope


"Jesus warns his disciples not to be led astray during the frightening times that lie ahead, not to be deceived by false prophets or led to believe good people can do nothing or no hope is to be found. No matter how rough the road gets, we are to hold on to what is good and turn to God's promise of deliverance. God, help us to have courage, to do god and to hold on to your hope. Amen."
