What is emphasized?

Hope. Christian hope has its model in the hope of Abraham, who against hope believed in hope (Rom 4:18). So Abraham believed that God is almighty, and facing Him in powerlessness he trusted that God was able to work a miracle.

Practical application:

In time of hopelessness, realize God’s presence and His almightiness, and repeat several times in faith, “Jesus, I trust in You.”

We can entrust our specific problems and feelings of helplessness to Jesus every day during the prayer pause at 6 pm. Let us look with faith upon Jesus crucified and, with trust, place our problem in each of His wounds, praying, “Jesus, I trust in You.” (3x)
