Can you hope for more when you’re so used to disappointment?
It’s hard to hold on when your dreams and goals seem to amount to dust, despite the effort and work you’ve poured into them, poured into yourself. Can you really find the strength to hope for more?
When it feels like nothing ever works out and you’re stuck in place, can you still hope for more? Have you become afraid to dream, afraid to expect change, when it feels like your prayers go unanswered? Is God listening?
Sometimes, life hits hard, and it hurts. Tears fall when the present doesn’t look anything like what you imagined. But it’s okay to cry. It’s okay to start again. Your efforts have not been in vain. Maybe what you long for right now isn’t all there is. Maybe there’s something better ahead. And even if there isn’t, what the disappointment has taught you may be more valuable than what you were hoping for.
Can I hope for more?
