When...

When we feel trapped in the pain of today, hope reminds us we need not be there forever.
When we feel stuck in looking back, hope calls to us to look forward.
When we have given everything to others,
hope helps us replenish our heart, mind, and body.
When we are demoralized, hope can point us toward friends to lift our spirits.
When we lose our way, hope can give us back a roadmap for our lives.
When we fear the worst, hope reminds us that God is still in control.
When we are hurting from the actions of others, hope is a pathway to resilience.
When we must accept the consequences of our mistakes, hope lifts us out of the shame.
When our heart is broken, hope offers us to the courage to look forward to healing.
When the diagnosis is grim, hope calls us to the battle for survival.
When we are forced to sit back and wait on a dream, hope gives us the patience to trust.
When we feel bound in the darkness of despair, hope reminds us that there is a way to the
light.
When a dream does not come true, hope lights the fire to dream again.
When we feel rejected and abandoned,
hope reminds us that we can still love and be loved.
When we feel gripped by rage, hope is not far away.
When we must say goodbye to those we love, hope reminds us the best is yet to come.

Hope is measurable. Hope is malleable. Hope can rise. Spread the word.
