Happy Monday!

⭐️ Have you ever felt like hope was slipping through your fingers? Maybe it’s because you were looking to the wrong source. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. But here’s the good news: You can hope yourself happy! 💛

Hope is anticipating with pleasure, expecting with confidence. It’s not just wishful thinking—it’s one of the cornerstones of happiness. The Bible even says so! Hebrews 6:19 reminds us that hope is an anchor for our souls, secured in Jesus.

Y’all, like Forrest Gump says, “Stuff happens; and when it does, hope which is anchored in Christ can hold you steady until it all passes over.”

Take Abraham, for example. In Genesis 17, God told him he’d be the father of many nations, and y’all, the man didn’t even have kids yet! Against all hope, he believed ANYWAY in hope—and it became faith. Guess what? He became the father of many nations just like God promised.

So, let me ask you: What circumstances are you facing that feel “against all hope”?

Here’s the deal: to walk in hope, you’ve got to keep your mind right. Hope is an anchor for your mind. Like Joyce Meyer says, the biggest battle is right between your ears.

We’ve all been stuck in a fearful-and-stuck mindset, but the good news is that God can heal that broken mindset. He’s ready to help you shift to a faith mindset—a mindset that gets you unstuck, lets you believe not only in God but also in YOU.

Let me say it loud for the people in the back: You won’t be truly happy until you believe in GOD in YOU. Do you? The God of the Universe is inside of you! In and of ourselves, we are nothing, but with God, ALL things are possible. Until you do, no one else will either. Jesus is the light of the world and the more we let Him shine through us, the brighter we look to everyone around us and even to ourselves. 💛
Let’s step into this week anchored in hope, ready to tackle those battles with a faith mindset. DM me at @addiecooley if you need encouragement or just want to share what you’re hoping for! You’ve got this, and I’m here cheering you on! 😊
