  10. J.T. Fetherolf says:

    I love something our pastor always says. Essentially that God’s past faithfulness should give us hope in His future provision for us. It’s always a good exercise to reflect back on the things that God has already done in my life (even in what I felt were hopeless situations) as a reminder that He loves and cares for me and that He is in control.

  11. Alex says:

    My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. John 10-27:29

  12. Dean Wendler says:

    One thing about God that gives me hope is God’s unfailing love for me. He gave us the Gospel, God’s Good News, that as a believer I am no longer required to pay my debt for my sins. Christ paid my sin debt through His death on the cross, burial and resurrection. Christ is my bridge between God and me. The HOPE of spending eternity with the God that loves me.

  13. Bill Derrick says:

    Because of God’s promises and his gift of salvation, I know that my best days are still ahead!

  14. Jesse Skytland says:

    My higher power God is all my hope. He gives me wisdom, motivation and points me in the right direction. I am so grateful to have the guidance of the ways he is providing me as I am gaining a more positive lifestyle every day and growing in spiritual faith as I discuss everything with him now before landing on any conclusions.

  15. Dale Nerison says:

    My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’s blood and righteousness. May I have that kind of focus during difficult times.

  16. Shawn L. says:

    God thank you for being my ever present hope. You are there when no one else is or can be. You want me to grow through the trials and tribulations that come upon me I thank you for using them to make me stronger in your love and purpose.

  17. Dave Wall says:

    God wants long-term good for me, more than anyone including myself. And He sees everything that I can’t – past, present and future. That gives me hope.

  18. Thomas and Micah Sells says:

    My son and I listened today…so thank you Vince…My focus is knowing that my hope is in that God is completely in control and HIS plans will prevail….my son mentions his focus of hope is that he can do all things through HIM!!

  19. The Jerminator says:

    That He can be trusted with this life and the next! I also pray that you just send a special blessing to my friends Chad and that other Guy today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

  20. Leonard Phillips says:

    Today i will rejoice in the moment i am in and allow God to make the changes i need instead of me trying to control what i can’t.

  21. pavorotti2 says:

    I am focusing on how God is and has protected my family and I during this pandemic! Of the 5 things that show a hightened risk factor for people, I have 3 of the 5. I’m over 60 (73}, I have a heart condition (6 Stents), and I’m a type 2 diabetic. God has been so gracious in His proctection.

  22. Wade says:

    My present hope is that God will finish what He’s begun. Our labor is not in vain. Praise God!

  24. Loryn says:

    So thankful Hod is always there and never forsakes us. I have been learning to trust His timing not my own

  25. Joe Middleton says:

    A how so true your words are Vince. I always never so down enough to stop and be joyful enough to see the positive work God is doing thru me with this struggle or the patience to slow down because I have to fix it or solve the answer instead of praying and seeking first God and his kingdom. Thank You for the encouraging words of wisdom today.

  26. Samuel says:

    Brothers, in this time of uncertainty we all have the joy of know that this is his play and when God wants to call us home, he knows where to find us.
    But that being a known fact in my heart I am going try not to do anything make him look for me.

  27. Rudy says:

    Thank you Father for always placing within me the Hope that today’s Wisdom, Knowledge & Understanding is better then day before.

    I’ve been a follower of Jesus for almost 50 years, and all he has brought me through in that length of time, gives me great hope for the future.

  29. Les Martens says:

    God is always present in the moment. There is not one second of the day that He is not with me.

  30. Michael McClain says:

    Knowing that he is the same God of the Old Testament and the New Testament. He is the same God that accomplished all we read about in the Bible. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, He never changes even when our circumstances do and He is always faithful.

  31. Michael Pechar says:

    What gives me hope is that He will never forsake me. When I feel He is not near, it is because I pulled away; not Him.

  32. David Fredrickson says:

    Using Todd’s words of “the older I get” (the longer and deeper my relationship with our Lord) the more easily hope is the attitude I’m blessed with and live out. Something to give testimony to as I look to encourage others to go deeper in their relationship with God. And with hope comes peace and strength. Our loving Heavenly Father wants us to have these and more. Let’s draw near to Him with trust and thankfulness.

  33. Eddie Ackerman says:

    God meets us where we are, I know I fall and sin, so Him meeting me where I am, not being ANYWHERE NEAR perfect, that gives me hope.

  34. Ian Robert says:

    God blesses those who are faithful to Him.This gives me hope that one day I will receive a reward.

  35. Darin Palmer says:

    Knowing whatever obstacle comes up for me and my family, God will be there guiding us and giving us the LOVE that is needed to overcome the obstacle!

  36. Chad Husted says:

    Everything God is doing in my life is meant to draw me to him and develop my character. My hope and confidence is that I know God is at work in me and I am grateful for it. I may not want what is happening, but i KNOW it’s for his glory and my ultimate benefit.

  37. Colton says:

    He is omnipotent. Regardless of what those around me do, say or plan- God is in control of it all.

  38. adam mather says:

    the fact that GOD has never let me down. he always steps in right when im about to give up.
    it actually drives me crazy, makes me very angry sometimes. knowing he is going to provide the help i need for that moment, sometimes i feel like he just hangs me there. i know that is not true.
    but my human nature makes me doubt .
    thank you and God bless

  39. Robert Morgan says:

    A Mircle, my daughters ct scan came back yesterday……cancer is gone, scan was clear,,,,,to God the Glory!!!!!!!

  40. Tim Young says:

    We have a hope because God has always been faithful. He promises that He loves us and watches over us. Our hope is not that we will see tomorrow, or that we will get a bigger boat. But our Hope is that He will be with us, will walk down every path with us, and will be waiting at the end of the line for us. And, at that time, He will give us a new body and welcome us into His presence. The trials of this world are short. We can hold on, digging deeper into relationship with Him, until they are past.

    • Todd says:

      Tim – the older I get, the more I look forward to that new body 🙂 But also, the older I get, and consider all that He’s brought us through so far, I sometimes feel like I get a little deeper glimpse of His Kingdom work – the long view of all that He’s doing. I find tremendous hope in that.

  41. Jeff Brown says:

    To use a golf analogy God gapped up to reach me like I try to reach the green. He sent Jesus to connect with me. He controls my entire environment to reach me.

    • david hill says:

      My hope is that God has a plan for me and even when I am frustrated God has a reason for it. To hope that God guides me throughout my life.

  42. Kenneth McClatchey says:

    The hope I have in God is that His love for me, my family and friends never falters or lessens. He walks with me through every storm and every sunny day. If I get ahead of Him and stumble or mess up, He is there to lift me up, dust me off, give me a reassuring loving hug and says “Let’s move forward”.

  43. Duncan Forsyth says:

    God has been through it all, He is always by our side and how I handle the adversity is the witness people look at.

  44. Tim Kelley says:

    This life is not the end, my hope is in the future a eternal home praising the King of Kings and Lord of Lords with my brothers and sisters forevermore

  45. Dave Benson says:

    Just reading in John 15 this morning where Jesus reminds us to remain in His love and in this we will find His joy in us and it will be complete. So even though we’re in the middle of a storm I have to remind myself to “remain” especially when I feel my joy being depleted. That’s a promise we can stand on in any storm!

  46. Brian K says:

    God gives me hope because I know I’ll get to see my daughter again when I die and I know she is with Him.

  47. cory doden says:

    All through the bible God has been faithful to those that are persistent and faithful in prayer in tough times. Job, Moses, David, Paul… Let me remember those men today and be faithful like them.

  48. Vince Howard says:

    One thing about God that gives me hope is that He constantly shows His love and care for me. Through EVERY trial and every hard circumstance I’ve experienced in my life, God has ALWAYS seen me through, He’s NEVER abandoned me and has ALWAYS been my source for peace, contentment and strength

  49. Jay Wegiel says:

    the quality of God that gives me hope, that I’ve been focused on for the past few weeks is His presence in my life. Every time I turn to Him I find Him there. Waiting, comforting, guiding, disciplining, listening, encouraging……

  50. Alex Riddle says:

    That he knew us in our mother’s womb. He wants to give us hope and a future. My wife and I have been struggling with infertility for 5 years, and we are pursuing foster and adoption. We are waiting for our home study to be complete. It is a struggle that I have to daily place in God’s hands.

  51. Jamie says:

    “The Lord your Hod is gracious and merciful and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.” 2 Chronicles 30:9
    This gave me hope!

  52. Vince Miller says:

    Now that I get a little more time with my family, I have hope of having a daily influence in all of my kids’ lives! I pray that my influence is strong.
