1 Peter 1- Put your faith and hope in God.

20He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
21Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.

Jesus' redemption of the cross wasn't an afterthought, God had a plan from the beginning.
Those who believe in God are not disappointed because their faith and hope has been substantiated by Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. (Guzik)

Jesus will sustain you and help you get through today, all you have to do is lift it up to Him with prayer and supplication!

Yesterday, Todd Agnew was our guest preacher and worship leader at out church.
He holds a special place in our heart as he was adopted and we took our adoptive son to meet him on stage at Resurrection Celebration in Tucson 8-10 years ago. He spent 20 minutes with our son, talking, signing, giving him scripture and guitar tips.
He taught on Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition (supplication) , with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Talk to God (prayer), lift up your problems to Him, give Him thanks for everything you have, present your requests to Him.
Cannot the God who rose Jesus from the dead handle your problems?
Stop worrying, put your faith and hope in God.

Blessings, David
