Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? — Isaiah 2:22

“I’d be happy to have a friend.” “I wish my dad hadn’t gone away.” “I wish she was more helpful.” “Only if…” Even though people can let us down, we still put a lot of our hopes in them. They make mistakes just like we do and die just like we do. So, while we are involved in the lives of other people, let’s also remember to keep our hopes connected to the Son of God, who “conquered death and brought immortality and life to light” and who will “never leave or forsake” us.

Prayer

Dear Father, please forgive me when I’ve put my happiness and well-being on being accepted by a certain group or loved by a certain person. I know that the only real hope I have is in Jesus, whose name I pray in. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
