Today I want to talk to you who have lived in disbelief. Maybe you are discouraged, anxious, and exchanging hope for the rush to see things happen soon. And it is essential to understand this: the opposite of hope is anxiety.

While hope makes you wait with confidence, anxiety makes you lose control. It pushes the person to act on impulse, to rush, to try to solve everything in their own way. And when this happens, the result is always pain and frustration.

Lack of hope is dangerous

When someone loses hope, they also lose the ground. The person begins to act hastily, without direction. Few realise, but the root of a lot emotional suffering is from specific moment in life – the one in which something was torn: a love, a dream, a project, a dear person.

And along with what was lost, hope was also gone. Without it, the human being feels empty, aimless, purposeless. That’s why hope is the support of the soul. It is the ground beneath our feet. As long as there is hope, there is balance, there is strength to continue.

True hope comes from God

But where does this hope that sustains come from? The answer is in the Bible: “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing” (Romans 15:13)

See that God is called the God of hope. This means that true hope does not come from circumstances, nor from people, nor from human promises – it comes from God. When I put my hope in Him, I receive peace and joy. Even when I still don’t see what I expect, I can trust.

I can wait, because I know who I believe in. My hope is not in the things I want to see, but in the character of God. He is faithful. He fulfils what He promises. And that’s why I can rest.

How to renew hope?

You may ask yourself: “How can I recover the hope I lost?” The answer is simple: strengthen your faith. Read the Word of God daily, meditate on His promises and go to church.

Also, seek the Holy Spirit because it is He who renews within us this living hope. The Holy Spirit takes away anxiety, teaches us to wait and gives us peace in the midst of struggles.

When the Holy Spirit dwells in you, your hope overflows. And a person full of hope – no one, absolutely no one – can take away their peace.
