Soar! In 66 days
Romans 12:12: "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Hopelessness is one of the worst feelings there is. You might feel like you're falling further and further down a bottomless pit, with no way of ever getting out. When this happens, praising God might is the last thing you want to do. But we must realize that in the midst of our trials, He is our only hope. We must be patient, giving thanks for what we do have, and praying earnestly. And in time, we can rise above our hopelessness and start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Things might just work out after all. It's the sometimes unexplainable, but always undeniable, feeling that today would be a bad day to give up
