our hope QUOTES

1 " We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown. "

― John Calvin

2 " ‎Now I think ultimately our hope is certainly that people can feel and taste the goodness of God and to find the salvation in Jesus's love and sacrifice. Sometimes the biggest barrier to that has been Christians and has been a Church that is numb to the poverty of the world or just sees our Christianity as a ticket into heaven while ignoring the hells of the world around us. And we're not willing to settle for that kind of Christianity. We believe in a kingdom that begins now and that the kingdom of God Jesus preached is not just something we're to go to when we die but that we're to bring down on earth as it is in heaven. "

― Shane Claiborne

3 " God is our hope and strength. And hope never disappoints. (Romans 5:5). We can place our confidence in Him without fear. "

― Teresa Schultz , The Bible In Poetry, (Volume One: The Old Testament)

4 " Why are we reading, if not in hope of beauty laid bare, life heightened and its deepest mystery probed? Can the writer isolate and vivify all in experience that most deeply engages our intellects and our heats? Can the writer renew our hope for literary forms? Why are we reading if not in hope that the writer will magnify and dramatize our days, will illuminate and inspire us with wisdom, courage, and the possibility of meaningfulness, and will press upon our minds the deepest mysteries, so we may feel again their majesty and power? "

― Annie Dillard , The Writing Life

5 " The opposite of interpersonal trust is not mistrust. It is despair. This is because we have given up on believing that trustworthiness and fulfillment are possible from others. We have lost our hope in our fellow humans. "

― David Richo

6 " If we are ever going to achieve a rational approach to organizing our affairs, we have to dignify the process of admitting to being wrong. It doesn't help matters at all if the media, or your friends, accuse you of " flip-flopping" when you change your mind. Changing our minds is our hope for the future. "

7 " Love harmony and peace everywhere.
It is our hope for our great future. "

― Debasish Mridha

8 " We put our hope and trust in the living God. "

9 " If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today. But that is the most that hope can do for us - to make some hardship lighter. When I think deeply about the nature of hope, I see something tragic. Since we cling to our hope in the future, we do not focus our energies and capabilities on the present moment. We use hope to believe something better will happen in the future, that we will arrive at peace, or the Kingdom of God. Hope becomes a kind of obstacle. If you can refrain from hoping, you can bring yourself entirely into the present moment and discover the joy that is already here. "

― Thich Nhat Hanh

10 " Children are not the people of tomorrow, but are people of today. They have a right to be taken seriously, and to be treated with tenderness and respect. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be. 'The unknown person' inside of them is our hope for the future. "

11 " We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society founded upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution. The Revolution is in the individual spirit, or it is nowhere. It is for all, or it is nothing. If it is seen as having any end, it will never truly begin. "

― Ursula K. Le Guin , The Dispossessed (Hainish Cycle, #6)

12 " As our children turn even five or six degrees away from us, we have to be aware of our fear and our excitement and our hope for them. And as that five or sex degrees turns into ten or twenty degrees, even ninety degrees, we have to monitor those feelings every step of the way-and ultimately realize that our child is another human being and not necessarily and extension of us. "

13 " This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.

We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some--perhaps many--may have inhabited planets and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message:

This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe "

― Jimmy Carter

14 " Grant unto us, Lord, that we may set our hope on Thy name…and open the eyes of our hearts, that we
may know Thee.”
“We beseech Thee, Lord and Master, to be our help and succour. Save those among us who are in
tribulation; have mercy on the lowly; lift up the fallen; show Thyself to those in need; heal the sick; turn
again the wanderers of Thy people; feed the hungry; ransom our prisoners; raise up the weak; comfort
the faint-hearted. Let all nations know that Thou art God alone, and that Jesus Christ is Thy Son, and
that we are Thy people and the sheep of Thy pasture.”
“We praise Thee who art able to do these and better things than these, through Jesus Christ the High
Priest and Guardian of our souls, through whom be glory and majesty to Thee, both now and
throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen. "

― Clement of Rome

15 " Oh when our hope be shaken
Oh when the trouble be overtaken
Oh when the storm be a token
Oh when yet, we understand the solemn ways of our Maker
Then shall our peace within be awaken
Then shall our peace within be awaken


Oh when the peace we want, dwindles!
Oh when the life we want is found in the shackles!
Oh when the paradox of sleeplessness, makes us marvel!
Oh when yet, we are shown the solemn path of our lives.
Then shall our peace within be unshaken
Then shall our peace within be unshaken

Oh when the storms of life
seem to triumph over our lives
Oh when the relation with our maker
shakes at the appearance of the light
Oh when life, shows its hazardous side.
Oh when yet, we understand the solemn ways of God.
Then shall our peace within be unshaken
Then shall our peace within be unshaken



Oh when we rest in the belly of troubles
Oh when our skill seems not working
Oh when the test seems not ending
Oh when yet, we understand the solemn path of God
Then shall our peace within be unshaken
Then shall our peace within be unshaken


Oh when we are entangled
in the worsened economic life
Oh when the hurdles of life
escalates to the apex in might
Oh when our strength cannot be our might
Oh when yet, we are shown the solemn path of our lives
Then shall our peace within be unshaken
Then shall our peace within be unshaken



Oh when our achievements, be at the apex
Oh when our joy, be made perfect
Oh when we sleep soundly in fervent
Oh when yet, we understand the solemn paths of God
Then shall our peace within be unshaken
Then shall our peace within be unshaken "

17 " Our hope doesn't rest on our finally getting it together. Our hope rests in Jesus. Jesus in us. It's Christ in us, the hope of glory. Paul says, “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col 1:27). We won't be perfect on this side of heaven. But Jesus is perfect. Always. We are becoming more holy and true. Jesus already is. His name isn't “Becoming.” It is “I Am.” Perfection isn't the goal. Jesus is. "

18 " So young and yet already carrying a great burden on her shoulders. Do not worry, my dear, I will make sure you can protect yourself and others. Because you are our hope … sweet, darling … Arima. "

19 " Christ’s second coming reminds us that ultimately our hope is not in this world and its attempts to solve its problems, but in Christ’s promise to establish His perfect rule over all the earth. "

― Billy Graham , Billy Graham in Quotes

20 " Everything is blood and vines. The mark of another day of revolving the body exact And the sky is ours our hope our blue our silence our throat of burning wildflowers. "
