“Put your hope in the Lord, be strong, let your hearts be bold, put your hope in the Lord” Psalm 27:14
When we are downcast, the Spirit of God encourages us to put our hope in the Lord. It's our hope that keeps us afloat in our moments of dryness and spiritual aridity. Hope is a powerful movement caused in our soul by Divine Love whereby it transcends the present and looks forward with confidence to the future, the confidence that the good and loving Lord will surely come to our help in all our distress.
