Spiritually speaking is it true the is still hope in the word hopelessness?

Yes, and there are also


Sheep Lessons, spleens, shoes, hoses, pens, poles, lenses, peons, sloshes, slopes, and senseless. downright versatile.. hopelessness.Spiritually speaking is it true the is still hope in the word hopelessness?
Spiritually speaking, there is nothing known as hopelessness. There is hope if we would change. Some examples of religions :





~That's what the Christianity is talking about, '; repent and you will be forgiven';.





~Islam , as long as you are not fanatics, there is also hope emphasizing ( as long as you are not following the fanatics teaching of ';kill the non-muslims and you willbe in heaven'; ).





~Buddhism emphasizes the 8 median path, if you try your best to follow, there is chance and hope.





~Hinduism speaks about reincarnation where you can change into a better form of life the next life if you do good in this life.





So spiritually, there is hope as long as you want to seek for it.Spiritually speaking is it true the is still hope in the word hopelessness?
Yes, thanks to God's promises through His Word we can take the first four letters, hope, and throw away the rest. While we may feel overwhelmed by life, by what we see going on in the world, by family problems, health problems or the loss of someone close to us, we have this promise in Psalms 37:10, 11, 29:





';And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace... The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.';





We may or may not live to see this happen in our lifetime, but through the promise of the resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous and God's assurance that everything bad and wicked will be done away with, the Bible says that is our future. It's not just hope, it's gonna' happen.
As long as there is someone to help the one that feels that hopelessness to see that there is hope.





Job was in such a state.





(Job 7:5-7)  


5 My flesh has become clothed with maggots and lumps of dust; My skin itself has formed crusts and dissolves.  


6 My days themselves have become swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, And they come to an end in hopelessness.  


7 Remember that my life is wind; That my eye will not see good again.





Then he had 3 ';comforters'; come by and tell him it was his fault and that God didn't care one way or another if he was faithful and loyal to God's standards.





They made the problem worse.





Then the younger man Elihu, after listening to these ';friends'; tear down Job, just had to speak.





(Job 33:2-4)  


2 Look, please! I have to open my mouth; My tongue with my palate has to speak.  


3 My sayings are the uprightness of my heart, And knowledge is what my lips do utter sincerely.  


4 God’s own spirit made me, And the Almighty’s own breath proceeded to bring me to life.





He conveyed to Job that God was righteous and would deal with Job in faithfulness, and would be his relief.





Then, to add to that message, God himself addressed Job and his ';friends';. He showed Job that he was aware of the situation, and that he did honor his standards that Job kept. He also told the 3 ';friends'; that they had to find forgiveness from Job for the things that they had added to Job's despair.





So, we are the ones today that can convey to those worn down and feel that there is no helper for them. We can share the hope of life that God has purposed for mankind and help them to see how to grasp it and find hope again.
I believe that people are still capable of kindness, and there have been times in my life where I thought all hope was lost, then all of a sudden someone who doesn't even know you, and by all accounts doesn't need to give a care shines, and from nowhere that one act makes everything right with the world.


Yes there is still hope.
yes.





sometimes I feel like a blind person. when there seems no way out, I remember, not just from the scriptures but from proved experience that


Jehovah sees all. Hebrews 4:13





'; 12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart. 13 And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting.';





And when I am down, I always remember this scripture,





Proverbs 24:10 Have you shown yourself discouraged in the day of distress? Your power will be scanty.





And I know I don't have to be strong, there is someone to do that, all I have to do is.... listen...and remember this faultless arrangement.





Where I remember that there is SOMEONE easier on me, there is someone that loves me more than anyone, there is someone that forgives me and supports me, there is someone smarter than me that has my best interests.... there is someone that WANTS me, and loves me and has a plan worked out for my happy future, and my happier present. THAT HAS WAYS BETTER THAN MINE. and they have NEVER let me down. They might be hard at the time, but they are true. No truer words spoken. Even if I die, or think I might, or want to, he has power over that.





Isaiah 55:8-9





8 “For the thoughts of YOU people are not my thoughts, nor are my ways YOUR ways,” is the utterance of Jehovah. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than YOUR ways, and my thoughts than YOUR thoughts.';








Isaiah 48:17-20





17 This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Israel: “I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit [yourself], the One causing you to tread in the way in which you should walk. 18 O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.








Peace of God that excels all thought, and strength by virtue of him that imparts power.





Phil 4:








7 and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard YOUR hearts and YOUR mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.





8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well spoken of, whatever virtue there is and whatever praiseworthy thing there is, continue considering these things. 9 The things that YOU learned as well as accepted and heard and saw in connection with me, practice these; and the God of peace will be with you.





10 I do rejoice greatly in [the] Lord that now at last YOU have revived YOUR thinking in my behalf, to which YOU were really giving thought, but YOU lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking with regard to being in want, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be self-sufficient. 12 I know indeed how to be low [on provisions], I know indeed how to have an abundance. In everything and in all circumstances I have learned the secret of both how to be full and how to hunger, both how to have an abundance and how to suffer want. 13 For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me.








Yes there is thank goodness it doesn't lie with us but with someone that is loving with a better view, and way more power!
