I know that it is a daily struggle to believe for the best. 

Each of us is living with circumstances in our lives that can, if focused on long enough, steal our sense of Hope so quickly. I cannot encourage you more to please, hold on tight to hope.  

I grew up in a home that was being such dry of hope daily.  A loss of hope is one of the most astoundingly large black holes.  Many times in life, hope is not a product of your current circumstances.  In fact, many times in life...Hope is a result of a deliberate decision that you fill yourself with.  I often say that hope is what we choose because we have decided that nothing less with do.

If you are someone struggling with great difficulty to hold on to hope, please first of all do not feel you are the one this happens to.  Secondly, know that holding on to you hope is very important.  Getting in to agreement with doubt is not the answer.  Doubt is not a merciful thought.  Doubt will seek to break not only your hope but to utterly deplete your life of anything that you could use as fuel to start hoping again.  

What steps can you take to hold on to the of hope that you do have right now? Above all, involve Jesus Christ...ask him for the help you need and that he would bless the steps you are taking in order to keep your hope alive. 

• Set in your mind that you will not allow loss of hope to be an option. Decide that nothing less than Hope will be something that you will accept from yourself.
• Try your best to listen to that quiet voice within you telling you that you are right to keep hope for better things to come.
• Each time you start to feel the urge to doubt remind yourself that you have the power to choose what you thoughts you entertain.  
• Find inspirational things that breed hope within you.  

ideas: 

Read scriptures that give you cause to believe that God is more than in control of your life and loves you.

Find music that moves you to believe in the good that is to come to your life.

Read books about astonishing things that people have overcome.

Place words around your house that inspire you.

Find a need that is not being filled in your community and try to fill that need. (volunteer work is very empowering to the soul)

Please remember, hope often times is a choice.  Yet to live with hope is one of the greatest gifts we have as believers.  Jesus Christ is so merciful to give us the ability to hope. 

I pray blessings in to your life.
