Many times, hope is confused with mere wishful thinking. For example, we could say, “I hope this person comes through for me.” Or we might think to ourselves, “I’m not sure, but I really hope I can get the appointment for my child.” There’s not much confidence in those statements. Situational hope is elusive.
Yet, the real, lasting hope found in the Bible stands in stark contrast to the hope that the world presents.
Biblical hope is free of doubt. It’s full of confidence that the Lord will deliver on His promises, despite what we see with our eyes. Our Heavenly Father is the ultimate source of our hope. Allow yourself to absorb and internalize this profound reality. Let it seep into your heart, soul, and mind.
As we anchor ourselves to His faithful character displayed in His Word, we experience perseverance, guidance, and reassurance. More than enough to see through even the darkest valleys of our lives filled with anxious thoughts, doubt, disillusionment, setbacks, failure, shame, and lost connection with our children.
Regardless of how intense or benign the trauma your child has suffered, one thing is clear as parents and caregivers—we must be consistently filled so we can consistently pour out.
