He also speaks of the guilt and helplessness of parents watching a child losing their life to drugs. Here are some scriptures that could relate to pets.

Heartwarming Good News Stories That Gave Us Hope This Year

Our next example of hope in the Bible is Joseph. This is a well loved story that we often teach to our children, but what lessons does it hold for us? Please take a moment today to pray for our children, school, teachers, and administrators. Pray for protection over them, guidance, wisdom, and a wonderfully blessed year."David is another example of a prophecy that took time to come to pass and is perfect for Bible stories about hope. God sends Samuel to anoint David king of Israel when David is a young boy. The story goes that Samuel came to anoint one of the sons of Jesse. Obviously overjoyed to have found favor with God, Jesse lines up 7 or his sons. Samuel (The story of Hannah and Samuel is another example of hope in the Bible!) passes by each one and shakes his head somewhat confused. He asks Jesse if he has any more sons.

If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel completely numb and paralyzed, forcing me to drop the glass to the floor.

Hope also springs from disappointments, confusion, frustration, and the unlikely. Hope pushes us to believe when everyone has failed us. So, dear friends, my hope for you is that you embrace the hope within your heart and find your faith in Christ, strength, and perseverance.
