Hope
Hope is the belief in your eternal value. The belief in a God who is present with unconditional love for you. This definition is rooted in your relationship with God. It does not include circumstances. Nor does it say anything about things turning out as planned. Hope is not optimism, nor is it wishful thinking. It is a deep knowing—mind, body, and soul—that no matter what happens, God will be there for you.

What do you hope for when you pray for God's guidance? How do you cry out to God in your most frustrating or darkest moments? What words come out? You may not know how to answer these questions, and that is okay. If you are listening for signs of hope, I invite you to begin by expanding your mind and heart to all the ways God is showing you them in the present moment.
