I love you guys so much.this was so amazing and just what I needed thanks.

[@pamelavl2523]

I and many others need to hear this message. Specially now with us shut in and struggling to find meaning in life. To know our souls can be renewed while our physical situation may not be changed. God's purpose may not be clear or with in our understanding but he is here for us no matter what we do. He knows us. He made us the way he wanted for a purpose. It's up to us to find that purpose by looking to him and finding his guidance. Thank you

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

PamelaVL beautifully said! Thank you for joining us & sharing that with us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Peter and Mary ❤️ This podcast was very much needed for me today ... love and thanks to both of you💙❤️🙏🙏

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Pat thanks for joining us, we're so grateful that the Lord could use us to encourage you this week. Keep on pressing on friend, the Lord is with you!

[@musicnojutsu7394]

This was the perfect thing to listen to today as I wait for covid test results amidst a severe sinus infection on top of multiple chronic illnesses, on my first day of grad school classes for the semester. You two are my favorite Christian channel on KZbin. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@beccamcbride6320]

I love that you took something materialistic that people use daily (face wash) and turned it into a metaphor for how to renew your Spirit daily. It's one of those things that being brought up in a Christian home that I learned about weekly. It's different when you look at it as something you do every day to wash your face and keep it renewed..that's what you need to do for your heart and Spirit too. I love all the applicable ways you two share that are so simple, but have deep meaning in Christ. Love you guys.

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Thanks Becca, I'm so glad we could share that with you! We hope you have a great weekend, may the Lord bless you and keep you & make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you friend!

[@corinacanizales9937]

Sitting here in my hospital bed for almost 2 weeks, you just don’t know how much God has used you to bless me. The discouragement and frustration of not getting better was over taking my mental state, and making feel there’s was no hope left. I miss my husband, my family, and me being in my home, but I know after hearing this God spoken message, my hope has been renewed once more, and I will not allow Satan to take over my feelings again. Thank you Mary & Peter for being such a blessing to others. Happy Birthday Mary!!!

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Corina Canizales thank you for sharing that with us & being here, even amidst the challenges you are currently facing. May the Lord fill you with His strength, encouragement, and peace today as you continue to persevere - the Lord is with you right now & always friend! Sending a virtual hug your way.

[@weldapurba6044]

I hope you are well and back at home Corina. I also just spend 2 weeks at the hospital and feeling exactly like you feel. Sending virtual hugs.

[@sherrylew519]

Jumpin' jelly beans! I just love Jesus and it makes me so excited to listen to others who "get it" too!!!! You are both precious in his sight... don't you love how sweet the Lord is! One of my favorite scriptures is Malachi 3:16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke often to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Sherry thank you for sharing that scripture passage with us - such a great reminder & encouragement! What a joy to be able to join together via technology & remind one another of the goodness of the Lord! We hope you have a great weekend! :)

[@carolynlong9148]

Im in the mist of battling discouragement right now. Im fighting two pain disorders and at times it becomes much to hard. Then I think god put me here for a reason to fight to inspire and to tell my story.

[@dawnmontgomery5180]

Wonderfully said even gave me the goose bumps and tears. Enjoy today everyday with Peter & Mary

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Thanks Dawn! It is our hope & prayer that the Lord would speak through us to you and anyone else who is listening.

[@debbiewilliams8727]

Oh...P.S. Happy Birthday month to the most joyful and courageous and kind and precious young woman. Grandma D.

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Awe thanks Grandma D! -Mary

[@pattyself8376]

Mary you are so right. I don't have your illness but I have an illness that has no cure to. And it is a blessing to wait up everyday. God carries us just like what you said Mary.

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

patty thanks for sharing! What a comfort it is to know that the Lord is with us each day!

[@carolynlong9148]

I think living in the sprit of god helps with discouragement. Times are very challenging right now keeping the faith when you feel discouraged help not only your mind but your body as well god bess.

[@julielumsden5184]

I have suffered from a chronic disease for more than 30 years with severe pain for 11 years with no relief. And yes I do get discouraged and sometimes I cry. But through it all I trust my God and know He is with me every moment of every day. We are all blessed no matter circumstances. I really appreciate you two and the ministry you have.

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Julie thank you for sharing - your perseverance and trust in the Lord is so inspiring & encouraging! May the Lord continue to fill you with strength and joy for each day. Thanks for being here with us!

Hello, please I wanna to know what is the last prayer that you read in the end of the video ?

[@LivingWithHopePodcast]

Hi Maria, the prayer I read at the end of this podcast was from the book Every Moment Holy. And the prayer was - A Liturgy for the Ritual of Morning Coffee: "Meet me, O Christ, in the stillness of morning, Move me, O Spirit, to quiet my heart Mend me, O Father, from yesterday’s harms. From the discords of yesterday, resurrect my peace. From the discouragements of yesterday, resurrect my hope. From the weariness of Yesterday, resurrect my strength. From the doubts of yesterday, resurrect my faith, From the wounds of yesterday, resurrect my love. Let me enter this new day, aware of my need, and awake To your grace, O Lord. Amen."
