Life After Hopelessness - II

God never promised us that life would be easy, but He promised it would be worth it! Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his inspirational discussion with Kristen Anderson about her failed suicide attempt at the age of 17, and what God did to completely turn her life around. Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Discover how God powerfully stepped into Kristen’s trial with His promise of life, and how He wants to do the same for you!
