The location of Hope County can’t be found on any maps
Perhaps hope resides in our caring hearts ready to tap
Last year’s drought
Brings misery and dried-up hope
Optimistic farmers seed spring crops with unwavering hope
A nearby processing plant
Will close soon with vanishing hope
Hurting families look to God for new hope
A nation’s inner fiber
Torn and ripped apart with faltering hope
Martin Luther King proclaims a message of rebuilding hope
A man sits despaired and forlorn
Being laid off with a future that offers spiritless hope
Receiving a new job brings praise to a God of immense hope
A crime-ridden neighborhood
Breathes each day with an absence of hope
Community spirit and love return with true hope
A charred Apollo spacecraft
Dashes an American moon journey with little hope
Neil Armstrong walks on the moon with restored hope
A scorned and forgotten child
Feels left out at school with fading hope
A passionate teacher smiles and brings refreshing hope
A middle-aged woman
Receives news that her body is filled with cancer and no hope
Prayers intercede filled with cancer-free and grace-filled hope
A sin-filled world
Awaits a Savior with never-ending hope
God sends His Son to deliver eternally-filled hope
Our world contains many places
Where hearts are filled with everlasting spirit and hope
Let’s never turn-off for a second our amazing hope
The Bible speaks a great deal about hope. Search for numerous examples such as from Romans 15:13: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
