    Even though the English word “hope’ may have an element of uncertainty in it, the Greek word in the New Testament always speaks of a sure expectation of some good outcome or positive result. There is a certainty in the hope given in the biblical record.

    To get through your groaning, focus on the glory to come.

    Some time ago, George Barna polled adults: “If you could ask God one question, what would you ask?” The top response was, “Why is there pain and suffering in the world?” I can’t think of anything more universal to the human experience than suffering.

    Many times we hope that God will change our circumstances, will calm the storms of life, and when it doesn't happen as we hoped, we easily become despondent and even pessimistic.
