I promise it won't happen again.

I will be there this time, I swear.

Please believe me this time, I will never leave you again.

Hopeful words and promises made.

Those words can turn into words of despair though and promises broken.

Have your hopes ever been cruelly crushed by human schemes?

While the theme of this meditation from Hebrews chapter 6 is finding hope and promises again,

divine promises that you can have hope in, hope you can believe in, will be together for

about 15 minutes, so begin your meditation by just softening your gaze as your eyes close,

consent to surrender to the hope of God, the assurances of the Spirit and the covenant

of Christ.

Start by listening and responding to this prayer of promised hope from 2 Timothy chapter

1.

And just respond, Lord God, you are my hope.

God saved us and chose us to be His holy people.

Lord God, you are my hope.

We did nothing to deserve this, but God planned it because he's so kind.
