We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown.

Just because I’m human doesn’t mean I’m weak.

Pray for strength to persevere.

God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts

Everything happens for a reason and because it’s in the overall scheme of things that God has planned. Whether it’s happiness or sadness, success or failure, good times or difficult ones He knows about it all. So take everything as the will of God. I know it’s easy to be grateful when things are going your way and all is well. But we must learn to be patient when something goes wrong. Do not despair. Pray and allow God to move you from despair to hope; fear to calmness; helplessness to confidence and weakness to strength. God has the power to set everything right- place all your trust in Him.
