14 But I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more.
It Causes Us to Rejoice Romans 5:2 and Romans 12:12
2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
Romans 12:12

It Renews Our Strength Isaiah 40:31

It Cures the Downcast Soul Psalms 42:5,11 and Lamentations 3:20-21
Psalms 42:5,11
5 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—
my Savior and
11 Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—
my Savior and my God!
Lamentations 3:20-21
20 I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss.
21 Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:
Isaiah 49:23
23 Kings and queens will serve you and care for all your needs. They will bow to the earth before you
and lick the dust from your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord. Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.”
Romans 5:5
5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
19 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.
Therefore We Should Defend Our Hope I Peter 3:15
15 Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it.
