Hope In Him 
All mortals are but a breath. Mere phantoms,
we go our way; mere vapor, our restless pursuits;
we heap up stores without knowing for whom.
And now, Lord, what future do I have? You
are my only hope. (Psalm 39:6-8)
I put my hope in Your word. (Psalm 119:81)
My soul, be at rest in God alone, from
whom
comes my hope. (Psalm 62:6)
For in hope we were saved. Now hope
that
sees for itself is not hope. For who
hopes
for what one sees? But if we hope for
what
we do not see, we wait with endurance. (Romans 8:24-25)
Be strong and take heart, all you who
hope
in the Lord. (Psalm 31:25)
Hope does not disappoint, because the
love
of God has been poured out into our
hearts
through the holy Spirit that has been
given
to us. (Romans 5:5)
Beloved, we are God's children now;
what
we shall be has not yet been revealed.
We
do know that when it is revealed we
shall
be like Him, for we shall see Him as
He is.
Everyone who has this hope based on
Him makes
himself pure, as He is pure. (1 John 3: 2-3)
Lively is the courage of those who
fear the
Lord, for they put their hope in their
Savior;
he who fears the Lord is never alarmed,
never
afraid; for the Lord is his hope. (Sirach 34:13-14)
Persevere in the faith, firmly grounded,
stable, and not shifting from the hope
of
the gospel that you heard. (Colossians 1:23)
They that hope in the Lord will renew
their
strength, they will soar as with eagles'
wings; They will run and not grow weary,
(Isaiah 40:31)
You are my hope, Lord; my trust, God,…
my
hope in you never wavers. (Psalm 71:5-6)
May the God of hope fill you with all
joy
and peace in believing, so that you
may abound
in hope by the power of the holy Spirit.
(Romans 15:13)
