Chapter 7 - Trusting Jesus
From Ruthless Trust by Brenann Manning

Hope is reliance on the promise of Jesus, accompanied by the expectation of fulfillment.

Trust is the winsome wedding of faith and hope.

Faith+hope=Trust

'I do believe! Help my unbelief.' (Mark 9:22-24). What's missing here? HOPE. The boy's father believes in jesus but lacks conviction that his expectation for healing will be fulfilled.

Thanks for Prayers!
For those of you that have been praying for my dad, this past week he finished 5 consecutive days of his second treatment. Unlike last time (when the chemo made him extremely sick) he did not get sick! That is TOTALLY the Lord! Thanks for prayers. He will have a appointment sometime in the next few weeks to determine the effectiveness of the treatments. That will determine future treatments.
