The only thing that can possibly defeat us is giving up hope. Hope flees when our mindset places the power for solutions totally in our human ability. We lose hope when we think that our help can only come from some other person and nobody comes. Or we lose hope when we think everything depends on us alone and get overwhelmed. Yet when we marshal the spiritual power that is within us, we energize hope and discover we have the strength to meet any challenge. The Divine presence is always with us. It lives in everyone and in all creation. Without a realization of that, life is like trying to drive down the road in a car with no engine. We don’t get very far. But just the tiniest receptivity to the spiritual wisdom, love, guidance, and creative power available to us gets us moving! When we trust that we are not alone, we see that the ultimate goodness of creation is real. This gives us the courage to hope. With hope we will never give up—even when things look impossible. We find that we are indeed enough.
