Hope can feel fragile in a hard season. These verses don't ask you to manufacture it — they point to where it comes from.
// the word for this moment
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”
Romans 15:13 (KJV)
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)“And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.”
Psalm 39:7 (KJV)Romans 15:13 calls God 'the God of hope' — meaning hope isn't something you have to generate on your own through willpower or positive thinking. It's something that comes from outside you, filled in, not worked up. If hope feels thin right now, that's not a personal failure. It might just mean it's time to stop trying to manufacture it and ask to be filled instead.
