"And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD...This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope...The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him...It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD...He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope." [Lamentations 3:18, 21, 24, 26, 29]
Five times the writer Jeremiah refers to his hope during the darkest days of his life. No matter how difficult our circumstances, we can still have hope. I would like to suggest that you read the following two books.
Hope Again by Charles Swindoll, Word Publishers
Hope Grows in Winter by Woodrow Kroll and George D. Miller III, Kregel Publications
The Bible's message is one of hope. In the Psalms the writers speak of hope more than in any other book of the Bible. As you read through the Psalms make special notions of the times hope or words of hope are found. It will do you good for in future days of dificulty to be able to go back and note the passages of hope you have marked.
