Have you ever felt that something or someone was chosen over you? Sometimes we lose hope and feel alone. True hope can only come from God. Hope is defined by: The
feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the
best. “Hope” in Scripture means “a
strong and confident expectation.”
What does the Bible say about hope? It is mentioned 180 times -
34 times just in Psalms. Here are ten of my favorite on hope.

never perish.

be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without
