I've heard the phrase, "Don't get my/your hopes up." What God brought to mind was this:</p> <p>My frustration towards a given certain situation or set of circumstances stemmed from getting my hopes up because of a <strong><em>possibility</em></strong> instead of the One that provided it.</p> <p>I had misplaced my hope. Instead of continuing to place my hope and trust in God and letting Him handle the situation, I had taken my hope and placed it squarely on what I perceived to be the solution to the problem. I should always keep my hope and trust on Him while thanking him for the newfound answer.</p> <p><strong><em>Regardless</em></strong> of the outcome, my hope should not be placed on anything else, but Him.</p> http://ericcarroll.org/logs/misplaced-hope-leads-to-more-frustration#comments faith God hope misplaced trust Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:09:12 -0600 eric 4055 at http://ericcarroll.org
