Have you ever felt stuck in a situation or relationship where you felt powerless? When we experience devastating defeat, trauma or a loss of control, it can leave us feeling hopeless.
In these painful moments, we have lost the ability to see what is real.

If hope is an expectation and desire for something good in the future, then hopelessness is the lack of ability to see better days.
The Bible tells us in Isaiah, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (41:10, New International Version)” and in Proverbs “The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (18:10, New International Version).”
Throughout the Bible, there are verses like these telling us our hope is found in God.
Whether we like it or not, we are influenced by the people we surround ourselves with. It is for this reason that lifestyle changes, like healthy eating or going to the gym, work best when our friends join us.

Often the reason we don’t change is that we are too afraid to invite others into our lives.
We allow differences to keep us apart. We need to learn from others with different life experiences. We need to support one another as we struggle together toward hope.
