Remember is my word for this year. To remember God’s faithfulness. It kind of goes along with hope.
Hope is a deep word. It’s not just “hoping” something will happen. It’s trusting in God’s promises, and what He says will come true. Looking forward to seeing how God uses “hope” this year for you.

Hope is for now and later. It is for always. God is persistent in making sure we honor what He has chosen for us. Looking forward to all God is going to do in and through you this year.

I like it! I share your sentiments often. It takes pondering the truth of God’s word; in the end we know that love indeed does win, but we also need to try to live in peace with all people that the Word tells us.

I don’t have a word… other than the one that I’ve had for the last five years… And I know you know it!

Hope is my word this year too, Lisa! “Hope is grace for today!” Yes! I needed this today. I was really blessed by how you unpacked this word and brought into the very present tense. May we hold onto this hope as an anchor for our souls this year, my friend!

Hope is a great word for the new year. Hope, when saturated with faith, truly can fill our hearts with joy! Our hearts are empty and desperate apart from the hope we find in the Lord. I pray that the Lord shows you His faithfulness and love so you may constantly know hope in you heart throughout 2019 and beyond!

Hope is so necessary and such a great word to motivate you through the year! What a beautiful post and I love the journey that brought you to choosing hope. With regard to my goals, my phrase for 2019 is “think smaller in order to go bigger”. But just today I also realized that for my life in general, my phrase for the new year is “Let Go.” I have been holding on to some negativity that is weighing me down and it is simply time to let it all go! Thank you for sharing your inspiration!

Hope is one of my favorite words, Lisa, and that Lamentations verse means so much to me. I went back to it many times last fall and adopted it as my memory passage for January. My word is “Word,” as in, I want to seek more intentionally to hear God’s voice through His Word.

“I want to cling to hope personified, the person and deity of Jesus. To learn from him. To let him hold my hand.” Me, too, Lisa! May hope be the anchor of our souls in the midst of all the chaos in this country and in this world. Clinging to the truth that God’s got us and He is still in control, no matter what, has often given me hope. Love and blessings to you!

“Hope” is a wonderful word to ponder for 2019, Lisa. I am excited to read your thoughts on the matter as the year progresses. I “hope” God blesses you with reasons to be hopeful this year. Loved this line
“Hope also is grace for today”. Beautiful!

You’ve given me a fresh perspective on hope, Lisa. I’ve never realized that when I think of hope, I think about the future. But you’re absolutely right – hope is for the present, too. Christ is my hope and He is always with me. That a Truth with tremendous impact!
