Introduction
In times of adversity and uncertainty, we often find ourselves searching for a beacon of hope. Hope that better days are on the horizon, hope that we will prevail, and most importantly, hope in our Savior Jesus Christ.

This devotional explores what Jesus teaches us about hope. Through reflection of a powerful biblical verse, actionable inspiration, and thoughtful journal prompts, we discover the extraordinary hope found in Jesus.
Bible Verse
“For in this hope, we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:24-25
