Here is guidance from Ellen White’s writings on how to apply trust, faith, and hope in our daily lives, along with encouragement to use Bible examples: 1. Live by Faith Day by Day: - “Live the life of faith day by day. Do not become anxious and distressed about the time of trouble, and thus have a time of trouble beforehand. ... You are to live for the present, for this day only. ... Today you are to fight the good fight of faith. Today you are to believe that God blesses you.” (HS 142.3) 2. Trust in God in All Affairs: - “Faith is needed in the smaller no less than in the greater affairs of life. In all our daily interests and occupations the sustaining strength of God becomes real to us through an abiding trust.” (Education, p. 255) 3. Bible Example—Habakkuk: - “The faith that strengthened Habakkuk and all the holy and the just in those days of deep trial was the same faith that sustains God's people today. ... ‘The just shall live by his faith.’ ... The Lord will more than fulfill the highest expectations of those who put their trust in Him.” (Prophets and Kings, p. 386) 4. Prayer and Faith: - “In every prayer, let the hand of living faith lay hold upon infinite help. Faith is the medium by which the renewed heart is drawn close to the great heart of love. Faith elevates the sinking soul. Faith lightens every burden and relieves every weariness, by the anticipation of the mansions Jesus has gone to prepare for them that love him.” (Gospel Workers [1892], p. 467) 5. Trust for Today, Not Tomorrow: - “We need to trust in Jesus daily, hourly. He has promised that as our day is, our strength shall be. ... He promises grace only for the day. He bids us not to burden ourselves with the cares and troubles of tomorrow; for ‘sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.’” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 200) 6. Faith in Darkness: - “Trust God in darkness. That is the time to have faith. ... You do not trust enough in Jesus, precious Jesus. ... Be zealous and repent, then believe.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 167) 7. Work and Pray in Faith: - “Work in faith, and leave results with God. Pray in faith, and the mystery of His providence will bring its answer. ... Wait, not in fretful anxiety, but in undaunted faith and unshaken trust.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 7, p. 245) 8. Bible Example—Paul: - “The apostle Paul has testified: ‘He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.... Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.’” (2 Corinthians 12:9, 10; Prophets and Kings, p. 164) 9. Faith and Prayer Are Our Strength: - “True faith and true prayer—how strong they are! ... Faith is trusting in God,—believing that He loves us, and knows what is for our best good. ... It is faith that puts us in possession of these [truth, uprightness, purity].” (Gospel Workers, p. 259) In summary: - Apply trust, faith, and hope by living one day at a time, praying, trusting God in both small and great matters, and believing His promises even in darkness or difficulty. Bible examples like Habakkuk and Paul show us that faith is practical and sustaining in every circumstance. Would you like more specific Bible stories or practical examples for group sharing?
