HOPE

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. It is a feeling that something good will happen. On days when all you want is to quit, having hope will push you again to rise and achieve. Actually, you can shortly define Hope as Hold On Pain Ends. 

Being hopeful doesn’t always come easily to everyone. Hope isn’t something that just happens to you - sometimes especially in the beginning and then again in difficult situations, you have to decide to have it.

IN THE WILDERNESS

It’s in the wilderness (in the hardest times), when you lose hope. You just see yourself and nobody else in it. It is when you feel like not needing anybody else’s help because deep inside of you, you think that even with that person’s help it will change nothing. After all, what is the point of hoping if you are certain that you will be disappointed? It’s in our hardest times when we see the unfairness overflowing in our lives and then we start questioning our existence. We forget the fact that we once had those moments that we are forever grateful for. I think this leads you and I to understand and answer this question, “why is it hard to have hope?” It’s simple, YOU CANT HAVE HOPE IF YOU ARE NOT GRATEFUL. You need to be grateful for you to see light in the darkness.

TRANSFORM YOUR FEAR INTO HOPE

Are you scared the fact that uncompetitive police officer is slowly investigating your case and you are actually running out of time? Or you’ve been praying to God for the right person to finally come into your life and you don’t see any sign of it happening anytime soon since you about to reach your menopause? and so you decide to let things be which leads you to be angry at the world. When you don’t have hope, you slowly start to shut down, you become emotionally numb and fearful of relationships. So how about transforming our fears into hope? How about we stop complaining about the fact that the police officer is not serious and start reminding him of your case while praying and hoping that God will finally make things happen. How about not being scared on the fact that you won't be able to conceive and start hoping that God will provide since he works in miraculous ways especially to his faithful and obedient children. We need to HOPE. It’s hard but we need it especially when we are not fearless.

THE BIGGEST THREAD TO HOPE

The biggest thread to hope is surrounding oneself with good “hope providers”. We need people in our lives that we can trust and in whom we can confide. We all need reassurance in times of crisis. We also need to learn how to be vulnerable to people that we call our "hope providers". It can be your friend, parent, sibling, colleague or even your church or mosque leader. “MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BE SOMEBODY’S HOPE PROVIDER”.
