Contemplating Thoughts on Despair

Some of us are thinking that thoughts of despair have never been more prominent in our lifetime than during the current pandemic (Covid-19).  I, however, have been thinking about how God takes these seasons of despair and shows us how truly powerful He really is.  We are never more keenly aware of His divine care than when he lifts us out of despair and shows Himself strong on our behalf.  His mercies are new every morning and great is His faithfulness.  I know this firsthand because He has lifted me out of despair and refreshed new hope within.  Hope in the midst of helplessness is invaluable.  It keeps us moving forward towards new beginnings and revisiting losses with thoughts of restoration. Only God can lift the human soul out of the depths of despair and give joy beyond human reasoning.  Thank you, Lord, that I am able to focus on your great mercy and power!  You alone are worthy to be praised!
