Do you need to shake off discouragement and rediscover your hope?  

Do you need your trust in God restored, so you can hope again and keep going?

Whenever we feel heavy, crushed, broken, or weary, it is very important to be careful with our words. Agreeing with the heaviness causes the heaviness to increase.

But agreeing with the Lord causes our hope to increase. We need to say what the Lord is saying, and one way we do this is by declaring His Word. We speak it out over our life, our future, our finances, our home, our job, our relationship or our dreams of a relationship, our family—everything. Because we are His children, we get to agree with the God of hope. 

The following declarations are based on Scripture. Read them out loud, and let your heart rise up in faith:

• The Lord loves me without end (Jer. 31:3).

• I get to rest in His love today, tomorrow, and for the rest of this year (1 John 4:16).

• He has good plans for me in 2025 (Jer. 29:11).

• I’m going to see His goodness this year (Ps. 23:6).

• The end of this year will be better than the beginning, because God’s kingdom is always expanding (Isa. 9:7).

• This year is crowned with the goodness of God (Ps. 65:11).

• He has set me up to see His goodness this year (Isa. 61:1–3).

• All the goodness of God is for me this year (Luke 15:31).

• He is the God of hope, and He is with me (Rom. 15:13).

• He is the God of restoration, and He is restoring me (Isa. 61:3–4).

• He is the Healer, and He is healing me (Matt. 12:15).

• He is the God of miracles, and He is doing impossible things with me (Ps. 77:14).

• He is the God of increase, and He is increasing me (Acts 9:31).

• He is the God of comfort, and He is comforting me (2 Cor. 1:3–4).

• He breaks the chains that hold me captive (Ps. 107:15–16).

• He is stronger than all the darkness (John 1:5).

• The darkness will not win against me this year (Ps. 37:7–11).

• I will be victorious this year because God is with me (2 Cor. 2:14).
