One of my favorite Bible verses about hope would have to be, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12) Hope takes us on a journey towards confidence and gives us a reason to come before the Lord.

The Confidence of Hope

As I meditate on these Bible verses about hope I can’t help but remember what it felt like before I knew the Lord.

No where to go, no one to talk to. You feel utterly alone, and beyond the point of help, and all you have to hold on to is hope. Hope that you will survive another day. Hope that whatever it is that you’re dealing with will be over soon. Hope that you can weather this storm. It may feel hopeless but these Bible verses about hope will encourage you.

We all have hopes and dreams. We have aspirations to get a better job, to travel around the world, to get a car that won’t break down every other month, and, God forbid, a hope that an abusive or toxic relationship would abruptly end. The definition of hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Having this feeling alone without some faithful action taken will never bring your hope to reality.

What is there to do in times of darkness so deep that you cannot even imagine the spark of a flame in the vision of the future? When hope is a distant thought, you must act on your faith and take that proverbial “leap.” Faith, or acts of faithfulness are there to remind you that there is something worth hoping for even while you keep stumbling and falling in the darkness.

As these Bible verses about hope will remind you, you’re created for a purpose. Believing in the purpose you were designed for is the very reason to continue putting one foot in front of the other, and fanning that spark or small glimmer of light until it turns into a flame of passion.

Once you reach this point, you are now in a position to help provide hope for others. Encourage others with your testimony of falling into the abyss and yet you have a story of triumph. God has firm promises for His children, that he will not ultimately leave them nor forsake them.

May these Bible verses about hope bring you vision and clarity. May you be strengthened to stand on the Rock of salvation. No matter how dark your darkness is, the light will always overcome it. May you be blessed abundantly!
