As we approach the end of June, we continue to look for ways to renew our minds. We want to consistently feed the truth into our minds and eliminate the lies we have believed.
A lie that is very prevalent in our society today is, “I am without hope.” When we believe we are without hope, we become defeated and depressed.
The truth that we want to tell ourselves is that “I have every reason to be hopeful.”
Romans 15:13
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
When we trust in Jesus and know that He is our source, we find hope. We have confidence through the Holy Spirit that we can do the things He has called us to. Life becomes hopeful again, and the lies of hopelessness fade away.
When we are hopeless, our thoughts focus on the belief that no good thing can happen to us. When we trust in Jesus and understand that we can have hope, we begin to see His goodness in every area of our lives, despite the circumstances.
Psalm 27:11
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
His goodness is for you TODAY. You have every reason to be hopeful!

Life can change in an instant, shifting from stability to uncertainty.
Mary was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, where she grew up in a loving family that instilled strong values and essential life skills in her.
For 30 years, Mary dedicated her life to teaching preschool, but life took an unexpected turn. In 2023, she faced her toughest challenge yet when she developed a diabetic foot infection. After undergoing multiple surgeries, including the amputation of her big toe, she was forced to leave her teaching career.
Eventually, Mary found herself homeless, moving between the homes of friends and family members as she struggled to find work and stability.
Before arriving at Gospel Rescue Mission, she initially lived at another shelter from October to March, where she experienced a restricted environment with limited support. She explains, "It felt less like people and more like cases."
After leaving the shelter, she stayed with a friend who promised to help her find an apartment. However, the arrangement quickly fell apart, forcing Mary to start from scratch once again. Despite the challenges, her faith remained unshaken. "Dear Lord," she would pray, "I'm putting everything in Your hands. Guide me."
Her turning point finally came through her persistent cousin, who introduced her to Gospel Rescue Mission. Initially hesitant, Mary discovered a compassionate environment that treated her with love, grace, dignity, and respect.
The staff at GRM became Mary's support system.
Her transformation involved more than just finding housing; it was also about rediscovering her purpose.
Today, Mary is focused on rebuilding her life. She is pursuing a degree in Business Administration and actively searching for permanent housing. Her journey is not just one of survival but also a testament to resilience and the belief that, with God's guidance, no challenge is unconquerable.
Mary's message to others who are struggling is simple: "Keep trying, and when no one else listens to you, sit down, take a few minutes, pray to God and put it in his hands."

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
As a father, the enemy would love to attack our minds with lies that would defeat us, depress us, and take us out of the game. We have been looking this month at our identity and how to turn the lies in our minds into the truth that God tells us is ours.
It is time to renew our minds and start seeing ourselves as Jesus sees us.
One lie that we have believed for too long is “I am depressed, defeated, and without hope.”
The truth is that “you have every reason to be hopeful.”
Romans 15:13
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you with joy and
peace because you trust in him. Then, you will overflow with confident
hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
When thoughts of hopelessness, defeat, and wanting to give up enter your mind, tell the enemy that he is a liar. Speak to your mind and remind it that you trust in Jesus; because you trust in Jesus, you have joy and peace. Instead of speaking of hopelessness, proclaim that the Lord is the source of your hope and that you are overflowing in confidence. Are we going to continue the lie that we have fed ourselves for so long, or are we going to get over on the truth…what Jesus says about us?
Psalm 27:11
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
If we focus on the circumstances and situations around us, we will give up hope. If we look at “how bad” the world is, we will become defeated.
But if we look to Jesus and believe what He says about us, then we will begin to see His goodness all around us, and we will know
that we can experience His goodness right now where we are.
