How can we have hope in times of despair? We can go to the Lord in prayer and problems can be transformed. The treasure of hope can rescue during difficulty and provide a smoother pathway to the future.

In the post Hope in a Time of Despair, I wrote about the despair David was going through while fleeing from Saul. He used a great weapon which is also available to all of us and that is prayer. Prayer Can Transform Despair into Jubilant Victory.

I also wrote about a desperate situation in modern times with Apollo 13. Many prayers were being offered up on April 17, 1970 as the space capsule was making its re-entry. Here’s a link to a movie clip to illustrate the tremendous despair along with the triumphant victory: Apollo 13 Re-entry.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. – Isaiah 40:31
