This message from Elder David Hunter explores how praise can be an immediate, intimate connection with God—like sending a direct message straight to Him—grounded not in requests, but in gratitude. Elder Hunter vulnerably shares his struggle with deep sadness, inadequacy, and despair, emphasizing how authentic praise and the cultivation of God’s love can restore hope and purpose. Through reflections on Hebrews 10:22-23, he encourages believers to hold fast to hope together, as a community, even in brokenness. He stresses that hope is not passive—it requires an unwavering grip on God’s promises, especially in storms. The message closes with a reminder that God’s faithfulness never changes, and through grace, believers are sustained, renewed, and reminded that they are deeply loved and not alone.
