Rising from the Ashes: Discovering God’s Resurrection Power in the Midst of Despair

Life can be difficult, and at times, we can find ourselves in despair, with situations that seem like they’re beyond repair. It can begin to feel like all hope is lost.

But – we have access to a powerful source of hope and strength that can enable us to rise from the ashes of despair and experience God’s resurrection power.

Are you facing a situation that seems impossible or even dead right now? 

Perhaps it’s your marriage, a wayward or estranged child, or a dream you’ve had. Maybe it seems like you’ll never find the right spouse, or conceive children, heal from a disease or terminal diagnosis, an addiction. It could even be a business idea that’s never taken off and you are facing bankruptcy.

Despair is a state of emotional and spiritual emptiness where one feels overwhelmed, defeated, and without any sense of purpose or direction.
