Hey, we're so glad you're here with us today. This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, and today we're

continuing in an inspiring series when you're hoping for a miracle. Now, in this series, Pastor Rick

is guiding us through God's Word and showing us how to strengthen our faith and live with greater love, peace, patience,

and self-control, even when life feels hopeless. Now, if you've been longing for a breakthrough,

you're not going to want to miss this. I can't wait to hear today's message. Here's Rick,

with part one of a message called When You Can't See Your Way Clearly.

We're continuing in this series on when you're looking for a miracle, when you're hoping for a miracle.

I often get letters that have this phrase, Pastor Rick, I just don't see.

I just don't see how I'll ever be able to change.

I just don't see that my marriage is ever going to get any better.

I just don't see any hope for the future.

I just don't see this situation working out. When people say, I just don't see this situation working out.

When people say, I just don't see, they're using a phrase of hopelessness.

And we're looking in this series on the antidotes to hopelessness.

Now, how you see life determines your stress, determines your success, determines your stability,

determines your strength, it determines everything in your life, how you see your life,

how you see God, how you see your past, how you see present, how you see the future,

how you see money, how you see sex, how you see time, how you see your strength and weaknesses.

Everything in your life is affected by your perspective. In Matthew, the book of Matthew, Jesus said it like this, Matthew 6.

The eye is the lamp of the body.

If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

But if your eyes are bad, then your whole body will be full of darkness.
