Hope Enough For the Both of Us

Maybe you're having a great week. Congrats. I'm genuinely happy for you. This Pep Talk Tuesday might not directly apply to you, but I invite you to keep reading anyway.

Maybe you're having a week in which you feel exhausted, helpless, and hopeless. That is really tough and I'm so sorry you're having a rough patch. This Beanie Baby is named Hope and she is in constant prayer for you:


Okay, so that's a little stupid, of course Beanie Babies can't pray. But the sentiment is there!I am confident that at every point in time there is someone praying for you. Someone is praying for all the college students in the world. Someone is praying for all the people stuck in traffic. Someone is praying for all the residents of Ohio. I'm pretty sure you and I are included in somebody's prayer right now.

Gentle, friendly reminder:
Even when you feel exhausted, you have friends and family who want to be there for you to recharge. Even when you feel helpless, there are tons of people who want to help you. Even when you feel hopeless, I have hope for you!

Think of a time when your friend felt miserable and hopeless, but since you were slightly removed from the situation you could see that everything would be okay in the end. Now reverse that for the current situation that's getting you down. Somebody out there understands you (and if nobody does, find someone to listen) and that somebody has got hope enough for the both of you.
