【4.7】在神的应许中找到盼望Finding Hope in God’s Promises


音频

“我的心哪,你为何忧闷?为何在我里面烦躁?应当仰望 神,因我还要称赞他。他是我脸上的光荣,是我的神。” – 诗 42:11

我们在生活中经常会遇到灰心丧气的时候。我们的灵里会感觉沉重,我们的心也会感到有负担。然而,在这种情况下,我们可以转向神,倚靠祂,在祂的应许和不朽的爱中获得盼望。

沮丧可能来自于各个方面——失望、失败、长期的挑战。然而,即使在这样的试炼中,我们也可以选择把盼望放在神身上。祂是我们的避难所和力量,是扶持我们走过每段时期的主。

当沮丧快要淹没我们时,我们可以在神的话语中得着安慰。祂的大能作为和日常供应提醒着我们祂的信实,祂的应许带给我们未来的盼望。在我们遇到困难的时候,神总是在我们身边帮助我们,祂的爱和恩典够我们用(诗 46;林后 12:9)。

当我们把盼望放在神身上时,我们的视角就会发生转变。我们开始超越当下的环境,关注天父永恒不变的本性。祂是真正喜乐与平安的源泉,在祂里面,我们能获得坚持的力量。

今天,如果你正灰心沮丧,请在祷告中转向神。在祂面前倾心吐意,聆听祂安慰的声音。相信祂完美的做事时间和旨意,知道祂正在为你的益处而运行万事。

祷告

神啊,愿我们在沮丧中转向你,在你里面获得盼望、平安和力量。愿赞美充满我们的心。奉耶稣的名,阿们。

诗篇 42:5-11

5我的心哪,你为何忧闷?为何在我里面烦躁?应当仰望神,因他笑脸帮助我,我还要称赞他。
6我的神啊,我的心在我里面忧闷,所以我从约旦地,从黑门岭,从米萨山,记念你。
7你的瀑布发声,深渊就与深渊响应,你的波浪洪涛漫过我身。
8白昼,耶和华必向我施慈爱;黑夜,我要歌颂、祷告赐我生命的神。
9我要对神我的磐石说:“你为何忘记我呢?我为何因仇敌的欺压时常哀痛呢?”
10我的敌人辱骂我,好像打碎我的骨头,不住地对我说:“你的神在哪里呢?”
11我的心哪,你为何忧闷?为何在我里面烦躁?应当仰望神,因我还要称赞他,他是我脸上的光荣,是我的神。

Finding Hope in God’s Promises

“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” – Psalm 42:11

In our lives we can often face times of discouragement. Our spirits can feel heavy and our hearts burdened. When that happens, however, we can turn to God and lean on him, finding hope in his promises and unfailing love.

Discouragement can come from various sources—disappointments, failures, prolonged challenges. Yet even in the midst of such trials we can choose to put our hope in God. He is our refuge and strength, the one who sustains us through every season.

When discouragement threatens to overwhelm us, we can find solace in God’s Word. His mighty acts and daily provisions remind us of his faithfulness, and his promises give us hope for the future. God is always present to help in times of trouble, and his love and grace are sufficient for us (Psalm 46; 2 Corinthians 12:9).

As we anchor our hope in God, our perspective shifts. We begin to see beyond our present circumstances, and we focus on the unchanging nature of our heavenly Father. He is the source of true joy and peace, and in him we find strength to persevere.

Today, if you find yourself discouraged, turn to God in prayer. Pour out your heart before him and listen for his comforting voice. Trust in his perfect timing and purposes, knowing that he is working all things together for your good.

Prayer

O God, when we are discouraged, may we turn to find hope, peace, and strength in you. Fill our hearts with praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
