Hope – Cat Tales with Laura and Inspirations with Laura

You Will Get Back On Solid Ground

Years ago, I rode my motorcycle on a gravel road by my house. A large truck came along and forced me to the side of the gravel road, where the gravel was loose and moist. My motorcycle started to slip and almost went down in the ditch. I used all my strength, and I managed to pull the motorcycle back up on solid ground. I thought my motorcycle would be ruined if it fell into the ditch, and that gave me the extra power that I needed at that moment in time. God will provide you with extra power when you need it the most. Pray for God to help you return to solid ground when all seems lost. God will help you when you truly need him to.

Hope Springs Eternal

We always hope for the best, even in the face of adversity. If we did not have hope, all would be lost. We hope our children will have a better life than we have. Hope makes one want to get up in the morning. We expect a new day will be on the horizon, giving us great joy and comfort. God gives us hope for a bright future after our life is over. We hope we will be in heaven with God and our loved ones. The springtime gives us hope as many new baby animals are born, young plants start to flourish, and flowers bloom. Springtime offers new beginnings and many blessings.

Lost And Found

When we lose something valuable, we worry and fret that we will never see it again. One time I lost a set of keys and found them stuck on the side of my recliner. I am always happy when I find a long-lost tool. I thought I had lost a bracelet years ago, and I looked high and low for it to see it stuck on a piece of thread in my pocket. I was extra happy that evening. I had a lost pet for one week, and she finally came home, and I was elated. Most of the time, your lost item will be found. Most people will be honest and return a billfold to its rightful owner. If a child of God is Lost and Found, God is overjoyed that one of his flock returned to him.

Down On Your Luck

If you are down and out, pray to God for guidance and help. Do not be afraid to go to a church and ask for help. If you are truly hungry and need food, go to your local food bank. If you see someone down and out, offer to buy a meal for them or a coat. If they are homeless, try to find a shelter for them to stay at. You never know in life; you may be a homeless person on the street someday and how you would want to be treated. Never take your position in life for granted, as it could change in a heartbeat. Be kind, helpful, compassionate, and caring, and give people hope for a better tomorrow.

Sickness

God is there for you in times of sickness. God gives me hope that I will get better and recover soon. God knows the pain and suffering you are having while you are ill. God gives me hope when I look at all the beauty he has made on Earth. I pray to God for strength to get through an illness. Faith in God will help you get through the worst times in your life. Without hope and faith, you have nothing to lift you when you are down and out. When I pray and trust God, he will get me through any storm that might come my way. Always hope and pray for a better tomorrow.

Hope Will Carry You Far In Life

If you think a situation is hopeless, it probably will be because you have already determined it will be. Hope and understanding are built on solid ground; all other ground is sinking sand. Sometimes you can be too hopeful for your good. If you think you will get an A on a test, you may get a bad grade because you were overconfident. If you believe you will fail in life, you will. If you apply it to your daily living, God gave you what you need to succeed. Hope can help you soar like an eagle.

People That Have No Hope

I have seen people who think nothing will ever go their way. If you lose hope, others will lose hope in you. People who have lost hope are lonely, sad, and alone. You are never alone, as God is always by your side. It is proven that people who have social connections are more outgoing and confident in what they can achieve in life. Staying by yourself only adds to your problems as you will most likely keep hashing them repeatedly in your mind. Never cry over spilled milk. Move on, and look forward to the next extraordinary event. Try to lift people that feel hopeless in their lives. Tell them what they have done for others and what they have accomplished with their lives. Pray for them to have hope back in their lives again very soon.

Try To Be Hopeful Everyday

If you are tired after working all day, thank God for what he has helped you accomplish today. I am hopeful when I look at my accomplishments. I do not want to sit down and do nothing. Be glad you woke up this morning and have another day to thank God for your many blessings. God carries you when you are sick, so you only see one set of footprints in the sand. I am thankful that I have put my hope in God and others who are always there for me when I need them most. Thank you, God, for giving me hope to keep moving forward with joy, faith, love, and hope in my heart and soul.
