There are times in our lives when we can become besieged by problems, setbacks and disappointments. It is at these times that our human spirit may lose hope and we become fearful and disheartened, but as children of God we must strive to lift our heads high with confidence, hope and faith in Christ Jesus who, as the author and finisher of our faith, has endured the cross. Through Him we have hope and with our faith we have the knowledge that even in our darkest hour God is there so that we may continue to seek His comfort as we wait patiently on Him knowing that His light will break forth in our lives and the darkness of life's challenges and fears will be replaced with hope and peace.
