Hope

So I pray that God, who gives you hope,
will keep you happy and full of peace
as you believe in him.
May you overflow with hope
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
—Romans 15:13

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.—Barbara Kingsolver

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you're slamming the door in the face of God.—Charles L. Allen

Through Christ you have come to trust in God.
And because God raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory, your faith and hope can be placed confidently in God.
—1 Peter 1:21
