Bible verses about hope
Hope is not the same as feeling optimistic. It is something you can hold even on a day you do not feel it. These verses are about what is still ahead.
“For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13 “Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19 “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28 “But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”
1 Peter 5:10
