When things do not work out as expected, how do you remain hopeful?   First, do not drift away from the Lord.  He is your hope.  As a matter of fact, seek Him as you have never before.  Talk to God, tell Him how you feel and proclaim His word. 

 Lord, your word says….. I ask that you fulfil your word.  

Remember “The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;  though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 37:23-24
