21 Bible Verses About Hope for Hard Times

Hope is essential to being human. It’s also one of the greatest Christian virtues, alongside faith and love (1 Corinthians 13:13). While love is an expression of who God is and faith trusts in what he has done, hope fixes our gaze on what he has promised to do.

If a particular verse about hope speaks to you, I encourage you to open your Bible and read the context of what comes before and after. Also—all of these images can be saved as a phone background to keep the truth top of mind!
