Prisoners of Hope

Return to your fortress,
O prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that
I will restore twice as much to you.
Zechariah 9:12

God's desire is to fulfill every promise
He has made to you.
He is not a promise breaker.
Life hurls difficult challenges our way.
At times, we are tempted to believe
that our lives will never get better.
During hard times it is easy to succumb
to the notion that our lot in life
is to be on the bottom,
wallowing in disappointment.

But God says that He wants
to restore to you twice as much
as what's been stolen from you!
In order for this to happen,
you must do your part and stay
filled with hope.

Remaining hope-filled means
that no matter how long you've been
in your negative circumstance,
no matter how many setbacks you've
had to deal with,
you still get up each day with an attitude
that this could be the day that God
turns it all around!

The Bible teaches us that
the Name of the Lord is a strong tower.
When you put your trust and hope in Him,
you are in a fortress of strength.
Nothing can steal your joy,
peace, or enthusiasm.
You are positioned for victory!
You are positioned for power!
And you are positioned to receive
every promise God has made to you!

Have a blessed & powerful day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness.
Thank You for Your promise to restore every area of my life.
I choose to be a prisoner of hope,
trusting Your name alone.
I bless You today and always.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
