Two words will help you cope when you run low on hope:  accept and trust.

When we are trapped in a tunnel of misery, hope points to the light at the end. When we are overworked and exhausted, hope gives us fresh energy. When we are discouraged, hope lifts our spirits. When we are tempted to quit, hope keeps us going. When we struggle wth a crippling disease or a lingering illness, hope helps us to persevere beyond the pain. When we fear the worst, hope brings reminders that God is still in control. When we are forced to sit back and wait, hope gives us the patience to trust. When we find ourselves unemployed, hope tells us we still have a future. When we must endure the consequences of bad decisions, hope fuels our recovery. When we feel rejected and abandoned, hope reminds us that we're not alone....we'll make it.

When life hurts and dreams fade, nothing helps like hope
