00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:19.679
<v SPEAKER_00>In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Hope in Jesus is not wishful thinking.

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:25.280
<v SPEAKER_00>It's alive.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.199
<v SPEAKER_00>It anchors us in resurrection power.

00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:37.600
<v SPEAKER_00>The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead can fill your heart with living hope today.

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:51.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Take these first few moments connecting with God to focus your mind and meditate on that living hope we have in Jesus.

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.079
<v SPEAKER_00>What does hope alive in your life look like?

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Is there a place in your life that feels lifeless or uncertain?

00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.200
<v SPEAKER_00>A place where hope feels fragile or shaky?

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Tell your Heavenly Father about it in these next few moments.

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Verbalize to him why hope feels fruitless or risky there.

00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:46.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Then ask him to breathe new hope into that situation, to resurrect what feels broken or lost.

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:56.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank you that our hope in you is never lost or misplaced.

00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:04.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Revive our hearts today with resurrection joy and confident trust in you.

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
