When you’re bombarded by the never-ending negativity of the 24-hour news cycle…when life’s circumstances overwhelm you…when your enemies are coming out on top…when your own sin has done damage you can’t repair…God’s promises may seem good, but impossible. Sometimes you can’t imagine how he’ll do what he’s said he’ll do.

Can we have hope when everything seems hopeless?

There’s an old story that Daniel and his friends may have read in captivity in Babylon. It shows the secret of what it takes to have hope in the darkest hour.
