Our hope comes from God. May He fill you with joy and peace because of your trust in Him. May your hope grow stronger by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Romans 15:13 (NLV)
Hope, joy, and peace—sometimes these can feel out of reach. In today’s world, with so much chaos and uncertainty, they may seem distant. But what truly sets hope apart from a simple wish?
Many people wish for fame or fortune, while others simply hope to provide for their families another day. Both wishes and hopes begin with desire, but that’s where their paths diverge. A wish stops at longing, but hope is something deeper—a confident expectation rooted in God’s promises. Hope is trusting that, if we are faithful, God will provide for our needs and give us strength for each day.
Hope brings excitement for the future—it reminds us that something better lies ahead. I can honestly say that hope, joy, and peace haven’t always filled my life; I’ve experienced long seasons of darkness. Yet hope carried me through—believing in the Father and trusting that good things would come, even when I couldn’t see the light.
We all face difficult times and moments when we feel utterly overwhelmed. But remember: it’s just a moment. Sometimes that moment can last longer than we’d like, but you will get through it. Keep believing in good things—even when the way forward seems unclear. When your hope is in the Father, the good things will come.
