when hope seems gone

"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, the flames will not set you ablaze." - Isaiah 43:1-2

Sometimes we just need something, one thing to cling to in the darkness and the depths. God's Word is filled with promises, such as Isaiah 43:1-2 above. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you." In Jeremiah 29:11, we're told, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God has given us hope we can cling to. No matter what we are facing, we can turn to the Bible and find His words come alive to renew hope within us. What Bible verses are speaking to you today? What Scripture can you write down or memorize as a source of renewed hope?
