We need hope like we need food or water—hope empowers us to keep trying, keep loving, keep smiling, and keep getting out of bed in the morning. And while it’s a good thing to hope for good things, you desperately need a greater hope to fall back on if life hands you disappointment. A hope that’s bigger than health or wealth; a hope that’s bigger than success, affirmation, or admiration; hope that’s bigger than the hope you have in your spouse, children, or mentor. You need to put your hope in someone, not something—put your hope in God.
