Think of a time of suffering in your own life — losing a loved one, facing the disappointment of canceled plans, experiencing betrayal, debilitating sickness or constant pain, or maybe just enduring the excruciating heat of the tropical climate you live in. Recall the point at which you felt most helpless. That feeling of helplessness was a reckoning with your weakness and your basic inability to control your circumstances, because if you could, you certainly would escape them. (Many of us continue trying our hand at escapism every day.) 

Then, in the midst of this reckoning with your helplessness, you were gifted peace. Realizing your inability to change your present circumstances of suffering, you let go of striving to do so. And when you did, you breathed a sigh of relief at the peace that washed over you.

Hope is not wishful thinking. Hope says, “You promised, now fulfill your promise!” Hope is both the evidence that we have seen the goodness and the confidence that we will see it in its fullness.
