“I give up.”

This is probably one of the saddest statements we can profess to ourselves. It may involve something deeply personal, out of desperation from a loved one dying, or from staring at the impossible situation in front of us. This hopelessness causes us to have tunnel vision…where we can only see despair & defeat…surrendering it all in despondency. But if we shift our eyes from hopeless to hopeful, we’ll see that our hope ultimately is in the Lord. For not only in Jeremiah 14:22 but elsewhere in II Corinthians 1:10, we read that we are to set our hope in God, for only He can deliver us. It’s then that we can lift our eyes above the anguish to Him. (Psalm 123:1)
