Hope is about having solid ground to stand on when your world is crumbling. Hope is what gives us strength to weather the storms, an inner sturdiness that acts as an anchor for our soul. What we need in hard times is a true hope, a real hope - not wishful thinking or blind faith - but real, solid, sturdy hope. Ironically, the first Key to Hope in Hard Times is Questioning God, learning to express the difficulties, trials, and hardships, and wrestling with the God of grace.
