Beacon of Light

We at House of Hope have an awesome chance to reach out and help others, being beacons of light, during this time of uncertainty in our world and economy. We thank God that our doors are open and we are available to teens and their parents during these difficult times. Stress can show itself in many ways. Sometimes parents just need to talk and teens need reassurance also.

Let's remember: As we encounter trials and difficult situations in life, our hope is in Christ.

Waiting on God

I was searching today some devotionals pertaining to my Waiting on God during a stormy season I'm currently in. I would like to share this by Shirley Pope Waite:

STANDING IN THE GAP

I'll stand in the gap for my son.
I'll stand 'til the victory's won.
This one thing I know, That You love Him so,
And Your work with my child is not done.

I'll stand in the gap every day,
And there I will fervently pray;
And, Lord, just one favor, Don't let me waver
If things get quite rough, which they may.

I'll never give up on that boy.
Nor will You, for You promised him joy.
For I know it is true When he said "Yes" to you,
Though the enemy seeks to destroy.

I'll not quit as I intercede,
For You are his Savior, indeed!
Though it may take years, I give you my fears,
As I trust every moment I plead.

And so in the gap I will stand,
Heeding Your every command,
With help from above, I unconditionally love,
And soon he will reach for Your hand.

Whether your stormy season is regarding your son, daughter, relationships, employment or finances, continue Standing in the Gap until God's perfect timing comes.
