- Seek God's Heart. When life feels hopeless, and even when it doesn’t, drawing close to God is important. The Lord desires to have a deep and meaningful relationship with us, and if we really do put our hope in Him, don’t we want to know Him a little better in the process?
- Be Patient in Waiting. Hope requires patience and the willingness to wait for an answer, solution, or change. That waiting period is not a punishment as many would think it is, rather, it is a time for a change within or work to be done.
- Listen to the Wisdom of Others. Listening to the wisdom of others who have endured hopeless situations will be a blessing in bleak times in life. A mentor, a friend, or a family member can be an asset during the time.
- Recall What God Has Done in the Past. It is imperative in times of feeling hopeless to recall how He has been faithful in the past, and how He will do it again.

Sep 9, 2021 · Hope. We use the word to express our preference about the weather, inclination about a sport team’s success, and desire for a birthday gift. While part of daily vocabulary, hope seems to be less seldom applied in its biblical use. Hope, in typical conversation, expresses a wish or desire that does not have any certainty.
Jul 13, 2023 · The righteous, who have this trustful hope in God, have a general confidence in God’s protection and help (Jeremiah 29:11) and are free from fear and anxiety (Psalm 46:2-3).
