Faith and doubts
Restoring hope
Recovering the confidence that life can have a good future after a fall.
What the Bible can tell you
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.
Joel 2:25
to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
Isaiah 61:3
It is because of the LORD's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don't fail.
Lamentations 3:22
A human reading
Hope is recovered little by little, with small steps and with people who remind you what is true. You do not need to feel it all at once to start looking for it.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
