“The One who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us.” (2 Corinthians 4:14)
Some of us don’t ignore struggle. We live in it. We get tired, worn down, resigned. This is just how it’s going to be.
But faith does something different. Faith looks at that empty tomb and says there’s hope. The Christian life is not lived stuck at the cross. The cross matters, but it leads somewhere. Resurrection means your story is still moving — and letting God be God means believing that struggle is not the final chapter.
Read through and or go to YouTube and listen to this beautiful, scripture inspired prayer song.
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when striving cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
