What To Do When You’ve Lost Your Hope

I’m writing this post today because I’ve met too many believers lately who seem to have lost their way. They desperately want to trust God without question, but life has robbed them of their hope. If that’s where you are, I pray these words might help you today.

1. Be honest with God. He’s big enough to handle your frustrations and fears, and He won’t be surprised by what you tell Him. Even if you’re struggling trusting Him overall, trust Him to hear your cries.
2. Realize that having Christian hope doesn’t mean we don’t grieve. When Paul spoke about Christians facing death, he didn’t say that we don’t grieve; he said that we grieve differently than the world does (1 Thess. 4:13). We have confidence in eternal life that the world cannot have, but that hope doesn’t eliminate our heartache. It’s okay to grieve and have hope at the same time.
