What is Hope?
Hope is a feeling of expectation, trust, and a desire for a particular thing to happen.
Hope is commonly used to mean a wish : its strength is the strength of the person’s desire. But in the Bible, hope is the confident expectation of what God has promised, and its strength is in His faithfulness. (According to Google). Hmmmm!!! Ever faithful God.
Job 14:7-9
“Indeed there is hope for a tree. If it’s cut down and still sprouting and its shoots don’t fail, if its roots age in the ground and its stump dies in the dust, at the scent of water, it will bud and produce sprouts like a plant.”🌲🌳🌴
What does it mean to Abandon?
To Abandon is to give up completely, desert something.
Now, what is Abandoned Hope?
Abandoned Hope is the state in which all hope is lost or absent. It comes with deep despair when we give up hope and lose heart.
We feel utterly defeated, despondent, and without any expectation of a positive outcome.
Hmmm! This is truly hard. 🥲 Honestly, I can totally relate. Help my Jesus 🥲🥲🙇♀️.
In the journey of life, there are moments when we feel like all hope is lost, we face trials, setbacks, and challenges that seem insurmountable. It can be triggered by various life events such as;
Personal Failures: Repeated setbacks or failures in achieving our goals can lead to a sense of hopelessness.
Loss and Grief: The death of a loved one or the end of a significant relationship.🥲
Health Challenges: A severe illness or chronic health condition can make us question the worth of our existence.
Economic Hardships: Financial crises, unemployment, or bankruptcy can strip away hope for a better future.
Mental Health Struggles: Conditions like depression or anxiety can cloud our perspective and make it difficult to see a way forward.
In moments like this, many turn to their faith and seek solace in the promises of God.
Let’s explore the concept of abandoned hope and how the promises of God can provide comfort, guidance, and renewed hope in the darkest of times.
Finding Refuge in Faith:
For many people, faith serves as a refuge in times of abandoned hope. It offers a sense of purpose and a belief that there is a God watching over us. In Christianity, there are numerous promises of God recorded in the Bible that can bring comfort and hope to those in despair.
Let’s look at some of this Promises of God:
Jeremiah 29:11 which is my anchor Scripture💃💃💃 says: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” This verse reminds us that God has a plan for each of us, even in our darkest moments.
Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” This promise assures us that we are not alone in our struggles. We have a God who loves us too much to Abandon us.
Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” When hope is abandoned, this promise reminds us that God is close to those who are suffering, ever ready to rescue us even when we don’t know or think we need rescuing.🙄😇
Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Even in our lowest times, we believe that God can bring good out of any situation. 🥲
While faith can provide solace and hope in times of despair, it’s important to remember that the journey to renewed hope may not be instantaneous. It often involves patience, prayer, reflection, seeking support from a faith community, and finding strength in the promises of God. Additionally, professional counselling or therapy can be valuable in navigating through the challenges that lead to abandoned hope.
Conclusion:
Abandoned hope is a universal human experience, but the promises of God offer a source of comfort and strength for those who turn to Him. In times of despair, remember that there is a higher purpose and a divine plan at work. Embracing these promises can help us find hope, even in these lowly times, and lead us toward a brighter future filled with faith and resilience.
My favourite phrase remains; God can still and always be trusted ❤️💃💃💃💃.
Our Ultimate still remains in God through Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
Hallelujah 💃 💃 💃 💃 💃
