“So many times I have prayed to God in my darkest, painful moments and felt entirely alone. As I agonized, earnestly pleading on my knees, I did not feel God’s presence despite desperately wanting to. I ached to know I was not alone, to know my prayers were being heard. But as a new day dawned, I remained sad and uncertain, and I continued on with my life.
Many days followed, and as they did, I started to notice things. Small, tender mercies. People crossed my path who spoke words I needed to hear. Small and simple incidents produced profound insights specific to my problems. Blessings came in ways I never previously considered. Miracles too were granted, though I did not recognize them as such until looking back. I realized, bit by bit, that my prayers were answered.
I have learned that God is there—listening, caring, and preparing ways for us to work through trials successfully. God’s work is not to remove every suffering or to make life painless. He does not fix everything in the instant we plead for relief, but instead, God allows hardships to continue so we might grow in experience, strength, and empathy. God wants us to overcome trials so we might gain the rewards of doing so. Earth was created for us for this very reason.
We are shaped and refined by the experiences of mortal life, both the good and the bad. God is aware of this. Even during the times we feel alone, God is there. He is always cheering us on, encouraging our progress, even weeping right beside us in darker hours, hoping we keep trying.”

“I hoped for a rose and got lilies.
I hoped for the sun and got rain.
I hoped for a cat and got puppies.
I hoped for Brazil and got Spain.
I hoped for a raise and got transferred.
I hoped for northwest and got south.
I hoped for ice cream and got yogurt.
I hoped for a kiss on the mouth.
I hoped for more time and got late fees.
I hoped for a cruise, got a flight.
I hoped for Poseidon, got Hades.
I hoped for long days over nights.
You may wonder why I keep hoping,
As fruitless as it seems to be.
But hope is a bow, not an arrow.
Its release depends much upon me.”

“To motivate or inspire a soul requires hope. To lift a weary body up off the floor requires hope. To push an individual to greatness requires hope. To ask for something requires hope that it might be received. To attempt anything requires hope that it can be accomplished. To wake up requires hope, and to lie down at night requires hope that in the morning, eyes will again open wide. Hope is what makes us move. It is what drives our steps, our efforts, our prayers, and our dreams. Hope is the fuel that ignites our inner fires. Without hope, humanity would grow cold and die.”

“On an overcast day, I look out of the window from my office and see gray clouds slowly meandering overhead. There was a time when the rain and cloud cover weighed heavily on my emotions as if they were gloom in its natural form, crying and raging with thunderous outbursts. But now those rainclouds appear differently to me, more like a soft, temperate, protective cover that makes me want to curl up with a book and relax. Funny how our outlook changes over time.
If it seems like circumstances will always be as they are, it is an illusion. As sure as the weather and nature and aging, you can count on life changing both you and your situation. How awful stagnancy would be if this were not true.”

It is a sword against the unpredictable,
A bridge that traverses despairs.

It is a shield against the uncontrollable,
A hedge that fences in nightmares.”
