There Are More Unknowns than Knowns

[S] For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. (Romans 8:24, 25 NASB)

[O] Hope is to wait for the future that is unseen because it doesn't mean much to hope for outcome that is already known. There are a lot of unknowns in our lives and that is why having hope is important so that we would have a healthy perspective of what is to come.

[A] I need to have hope in the crisis I face now because I cannot see how it will resolve itself in the future. I need to wait eagerly for it with perseverance as I put my trust in God.

[P] Dear God, there is so much unknown than known in my life I have to trust in You in order to have the right outlook in life because otherwise I'll be so entrenched in my own ways to make things work, I will spend all of my energy doing that just for the short span of life I live here in respect to the eternity You have for me.  May my heart be filled with Your hope and may it carry me through the life I live here on earth to glorify You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
