# Dare to Hope!

It sometimes feels hopeless and impossible to go on.

The things I used to look forward to are gone, and I don’t know what to hope for in the future.

I keep thinking of that old saying: Life is hard and then you die. But I have a different take on it now. What do you do when life is hard and then you live?

**The losses, disappointments, and trials of life can rob us of hope even when we desperately want to hold on to it.**

God knows our frailty. He heard the cries of Job in the midst of his great trials.

> If the only home I hope for is the grave,  
> if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness …  
> where then is my hope—  
> who can see any hope for me?  
> *Job 17:13–15*

God rejoiced when his servant David found joy and strength in the hope of the Lord.

> Yes, my soul, find rest in God;  
> my hope comes from him.  
> Truly he is my rock and my salvation;  
> he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.  
> *Psalm 62:5–6*

God knows how important it is for us to have hope that will never fail us. In his great love, he offers us that hope.

> The Lord is the everlasting God,  
> the Creator of the ends of the earth.  
> He will not grow tired or weary,  
> and his understanding no one can fathom.  
> He gives strength to the weary  
> and increases the power of the weak.  
> Even youths grow tired and weary,  
> and young men stumble and fall;  
> but those who hope in the Lord  
> will renew their strength.  
> They will soar on wings like eagles;  
> they will run and not grow weary,  
> they will walk and not be faint.  
> *Isaiah 40:28–31*

**Where do you seek hope?**

**Dare to look beyond today’s troubles and trust in the hope of God’s love for you.**
