MY HOPE MY ANCHOR

 I’ve learned throughout my journey that hope is my anchor—a source of spiritual strength and the evidence that I still believe God is exactly who He says He is. Hope renews my confidence in His promises and empowers me to move forward, trusting that He is at work even when I can’t see it, even in the quiet seasons. Hope is choosing to trust the process, holding firmly to the confession of my faith without wavering, becauseHe who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23).

Time and time again, I was reminded that my hope is worth protecting, worth fighting for, and worth holding onto. God is faithful, and He completes every good work He begins. I learned that He never abandoned me, nor did He give up on His promises concerning my life. Even in my pain, when I felt trapped in my circumstances or believed my choices had disqualified me from His love, God remained steady. I know without a doubt that He keeps His promises.

Though I faced heartbreak, setbacks, and struggles, hope kept me moving forward trusting that God would fulfil His promises in His perfect timing. He doesn’t operate according to my watch; He works according to His own, and He is always on time.

Through hope, I discovered resilience. Through patience, I found strength, peace, contentment, and eventually, confidence.

Protecting your hope isn’t about avoiding pain; it’s about choosing to let faith—not fear, disappointment, or frustration—lead your heart. The enemy uses discouragement to weaken our trust in God’s promises, but when you guard your hope, you boldly declare: “God is still writing my story, and this chapter is not the end.”

I believe I’m becoming the best version of myself because I kept hope alive—hope that my situation would one day shift, hope even while standing in the middle of hardship, hope beyond every moment of discouragement. I continue to expect good things in every area of my life because God has shown me that even when His answers feel delayed, they are always greater than anything I could have imagined. I hope for better in all I do.

God held me together when everything around me felt like it was falling apart—because my hope was anchored in Him and His promises. That hope keeps me moving forward and shapes how I see my life. I’ve come to understand that some doors had to close—not as punishment, but because I might have settled for less than what God intended. Those closed doors created space for God to renew my hope and guide me toward the life He designed for me.

God is giving me a fresh perspective and renewing my love for myself every single day—things I longed for and prayed for during my marriage. I pleaded with Him for answered prayers, asking Him to keep me in an environment that was never meant to sustain me. I begged Him to keep my ex-husband in my life, not realizing that holding onto that relationship required me to continually abandon my dreams, my hopes, and even parts of myself.

I fought for versions of a “successful marriage” without recognizing that achieving them would quietly cost me the very peace I prayed so desperately for. In trying to hold onto what I thought I needed, I didn’t see that I was sacrificing the wholeness, joy, and peace God had always intended for me.

I’ve learned—and now deeply understand—that sometimes a door closes because God sees the truth we’re trying so hard to overlook. We cling to things out of survival, convincing ourselves to honour what was never meant to hold us.

I’m grateful that hope remained my anchor. It carried me through; it sustained me even when I didn’t yet realize I was settling for less than God’s best for my life. And even now, I stay hopeful in every circumstance because I know without a doubt that MY HOPE IS MY ANCHOR!
