As a child hopes for help from his parents in a time of crucial need, in the same way, every human likes to hope for help from someone in a time of their helplessness.
The best way to hope is to hope upon God who has created us all. Humans can deny us, machines can fail but the hope upon God stands still.
There are many promises in the Word of God for having our hope in God. It is promised by God that if we seek him with our clean whole heart, he will be found by us.
Everything on the Earth is perishable so it is utter foolishness to hope upon any perishable thing. But hoping upon God our creator is the only wise and best option to hope upon.
Hope has tremendous power to either make life meaningful and full of joy or else meaningless and full of frustration.
So, let us hope upon the Lord who will never deny us, rather always be an ever-present help in the time of our need.
Jesus said many things are impossible with man but with God everything is possible, so hoping upon Jesus, the Lord of the Universe turns the many doors of impossibilities to possibilities.

Bible Verses About Hope And Healing
The world is full of sickness, I don’t mean that sickness is only about physical, it can also be about spiritual. Spiritual sickness is much more destructive than physical.
What do I mean by spiritual sickness, it is a life with sin which is more dangerous than even cancer, because cancer can not take a person to hell but sin can.
Now, this sickness of sin must be healed in order to be restored by the hope that comes from God.
This healing can only take place by repenting and turning away from sin, accepting Jesus Christ as our personal savior, and receiving forgiveness from him.
Once our body and spirit are healed we can enjoy the real life of hope, God intended us to enjoy it.
