Losing our hope is one of the worst things that can happen in our lives. Hope is what drives us forward, it’s what gets us up in the morning and helps us achieve what we set out to. Without hope, life feels meaningless and without direction. Did you know hopelessness is one of the key factors of depression? Sometimes, we find ways to be hopeful on our own and motivate ourselves to get up and try again when we fail, because we have hope that things get better. Other times, we need a bit of extra help to get through the day. It is those moments when the Bible can guide and uplift us. When life takes a toll on you and you feel your hope dwindle, reignite it with some Bible verses.
