Anticipation and Hope
Transition & New Beginnings
Scripture
Proverbs 10:28

Devotion
New seasons bring anticipation. You can face September with hope or with dread, with expectation of good or with resignation. Scripture teaches that hope brings joy. When you expect good, when you anticipate what God might do, when you face new seasons with openness, joy accompanies you. Cultivate hope. Expect good. Let your anticipation of September bring joy.

Prayer
God, help me to hope well. Help me to anticipate good. Help my expectation to bring joy. Help me to face this season with openness and confidence.
