What do you do when you start to lose hope?

Question

how do you keep that faith and hope alive when times get tough?

:/

Answer 1

This will be my ONE & only serious answer for the night!

I have felt like I am losing hope many times but that is never the case! Chances are the negative is taking over & becoming really hard NOT to focus on!

For me...collecting my thoughts & talking to people who love me reminds me that as soon as you lose hope..... you have lost any kind of hunger or determination for your future!

You have to hang in there & stay positive! Things will happen as they are meant to happen! NEVER lose hope or faith because both of those are what makes living your life worth living!

Everything will work out -- I promise you this!

Email me if you need too!

Answer 2

You know what Bailey...your doing what needs to be done : ) Reach out to people who care and focus on the good things and not the bad. Live each day in the fullness of the blessings it has in store for you. Trust God to carry you when you don't feel like you can take another step. Believe and pray for a miracle, put your hope and trust in God and tell him how you feel each and every day. Praise God for the little things even when you don't feel like it and bigger things will happen. Just know that all things happen for a reason and ask the Lord how you can make a difference and maybe help someone else going through similar things as you are. I also want to recommend the "Caring Bridge" website to you, it is for support for cancer patients or anyone with a serious accident or illness, there is great support and people who really care and can help you through the tough times. Know that you are loved by family, friends and God, embrace that love and feel lifted. You will be in my thoughts and prayers...be encouraged : )

Answer 3

Try to recall the last place you had it and look there. You think I might be joking, but actually I am quite serious. Think of what was going on when you last had a good sense of hope. Try to think of why you had the hope and what caused you to lose it. For a little, forget the things that caused you to lose the hope and it will come back. Once you get your hope again, go back to the thing that caused you to lose it and calmly address the situation. Calmly, determine how you can resolve that problem. When you resolve the problem, the hope will be back. Hope is like love. You have to let something else go to get it back or to keep it. They both have their ebbs and flows.

Answer 4

Knowing that there is a chance tomorrow that things will and can change i will not give up. that's hope i Guess and without that life's just always the same. all good. and we all know there has to be bad and good. always. its just the way it is. sorry hope you get better and email me if you need too. be safe and you'll be secured that when you get to where you are going someday and i mean a very long time from now everybody that is there already will be waiting for you. hugging your grandpa again and other friends and so on. that's the way i see it.

Answer 5

When I first start to lose hope first things first, I throw up or if I may be blunt projectile vomiting. Because when you start to give up hope it's like a bitter vile in the pit of your stomach.



Being a mere mortal when faced with hopelessness the situation or circumstances seem insurmountable. However, we are armed,dangerous and extremely resilient and are survival mode kicks in when hope is slipping from are grasp. I firmly believe God gives up all a vast strength that are faith is is enforced by are believe not only in our self but those who love us and spiritual connection to God and are savior. Hope is star in are spiritual being it will not be dimmed.

Answer 6

You have to have a faith and believe it. if you lose those things, You'll be lose hope, and that's not good.

Go find something good/fun to do, talk to someone. if you are Christians or Catholic : Pray.

think positive. always stay positive. don't be over worried. and you'll be fine.



Just believe that whatever you're facing right now. You WILL go though it. DON'T ever lose hope. ;)

Answer 7

By telling myself that there are so many things in life I wouldn't want to miss out on... Hang on Bailey. It's easy to lose hope at this stage, but hang on. For all of us. We'll be with you all the way. We'll be the friends that will stick with you. Okay? :)

Answer 8

Socialize

Answer 9

I go outside in my backyard and I sit on my table

and look up at the sky and I talk to God.

I let everything out and I ask him to comfort me.



Sometimes I pray and talk to God for

2 hours. I also thank Him and praise Him.

I always give God all the Glory.



God saved my life (((Bailey))) He saved my

life when I wasn't a Christian. He revealed Himself to me.

I am not sure if you are saved or not. I am not sure

how you feel about God. God is amazing♥



I know He loves you. God has helped me through

troubling times.



God bless you..

Answer 12

You reach out to people and hold on tight. Those that love you won't let you go. And you can find friends in the most unlikely of places, so don't give up. There's always someone there for you. :)

Answer 13

You only lose hope when you willingly let it go. As long as you're alive, as long as you're still breathing, as long as you have tomorrow you always have a chance.

Answer 14

Just do what we all do, go through that struggle, and later you will see some reasoning within. What is going to happen? Time wont stop, you going through it whether you want or not, why make it tougher than it already is?

Answer 15

I always look on the bright side of life... I love Monty Python

Answer 16

that can be hard. It can depend how much you want to get through it, and or succeed with life. There's strength in numbers, find someone(s) who you can go to for morel support and encouragement. Find something or someone that you can share you "deepest and darkest" secrets,

tell yourself you CAN do it and get through!!!

Answer 17

I don't get caught up in having any hope in the first place. If you get your hopes up, you'll always be let down. So, release yourself from even having hope.



Besides, there is nothing left to have hope in anymore anyway.

Answer 18

Cling to God with every fiber of your being. Continually praise Him, no matter what the situation.

Answer 23

Religion. I know a lot of people will probably be all like ewhfeiurwbfc religion, but that's what keeps me alive, so don't hate.

Answer 24

If you are a Christian then you do Spiritual warfare against the powers of darkness who send spirits of fear and doubt and unbelief against us by dropping them into our thoughts. If we think on those thoughts by rolling them over in our minds then we are succeptible to them and they rule us and the devil takes us over.

So when I am attacked I take out my weapons and they are the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus and the Word of God, which is always said Out Loud.

I have memorized scriptures over the years so I do not have to look them up but if you need scriptures on Faith they are all listed on this site:

http://www.blessingmeadowsministries.com/faith_confessions.htm



Lets say the devil has dropped fear into my mind. I immediately recognize that it is from him. I am not fooled at all. I say this out loud because the devil cannot hear it if you just think it.

In the name of Jesus I bind, rebuke and curse that spirit of fear and command it to go now. I have the mind of Christ and hold the thoughts and feelings of His heart. Greater is He Jesus that is in me then he that is in the world. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

I belong to Jesus devil and you have no right to touch me! Now go!

Praise you Lord Jesus that I have authority over the devil.



Jesus even told us Not to take the thoughts that are wrong.

We are to cast them down and if you do not then you will have fear and it will take you over.

Fear is a spirit and you need to be confessing the word of God to stop and block it and cast it out in the name of Jesus.

I always plead the blood of Jesus around my mine and thoughts.



But in order to use the name and the blood of Jesus you need to be saved or the demons will not obey you.



If you want to have God fighting your battles then make Jesus your Lord and Savior and let Him have your life and He will make you well and lead you to your place in Christ.

Here is the prayer say this out loud and mean it.

"God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus' precious and holy name. Amen."
