I have been feeling a bit trapped in life lately, and it is one of my least favorite feelings because I know as a child of God I am free, and (not-to-mention) great, wonderful, and amazing things are still to come in my life. Alas, one can get caught up in their current situation, seasons of various tides come and one may start to feel like they will doggy paddling in the specific situation forever. However, it is important to remember that nothing ever stays the same (except God’s everlasting love). So as I have searched the interwebs for some uplifting Bible verses to encourage myself, I now share them all with you. Might we always remember to keep our focus on the Creator rather than the created, and seek to do His will, His way all of our days. ❤

May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.
