Quotes about Hope

Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, remove every obstacle from My people's way. Isaiah 57:14

Perhaps most significantly, knowing why didn't keep God from asking why (Isaiah 5:4 and Mark 15:34).

Perhaps the most profound miracle of all is living through something we thought would kill us.

Jacob, why do you say, and Israel, why do you assert: "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my claim is ignored by my God"? Isaiah 40:27
