Of course! There is always hope. That's how sane people stay sane. They have hope that things will work out and they usually do. Just make sure that you are thankful for what you do have and don't dwell on what others have or what you don't have. God will take care of you... just trust in him. Always!

There is always hope as long as you are alive.

I have been through some terrible times that I thought I would never survive and somehow I did.

The following are the things I practiced to get through those dark days.

To keep your sanity please try to look for something positive in your life every day. Make a game of it, if you must.
And please don't think that there isn't anything positive because there is.
If you have eyes and can see. Thats positive.
If you have a job. Thats something positive.
If you are not crippled. Thats positive.
The fact that you live in America and not some war torn country without electricity and running water. Thats positive.
You see where I am going with this.
Also, look for something that made you laugh or smile , in your life everyday.
Maybe its a beautiful day, that will make you smile.
Maybe the sound of children laughing, makes you smile.
Maybe a good cup of coffee gives you a moment of feeling good.
There are many more things you can see around you that would bring a smile.

Those things will keep you going and help keep negative thoughts away.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, focus only on getting through today and don't look ahead and worry about your tomorrows.

Eventually some good things will come you way. Please hang in there.
Also, if you need to take some classes to help get a better job, do so.
If you can help someone worst off than yourself, you might feel better about your own life.

Make sure that you are eating right, not surviving on junk food, because when you take care of your body you will feel better, sleep better and be able to handle worry and stress better.

I don't know what your particular problems are, but I hope I have been of some help.

Life is a *****. It's never easy. You are not the only one. I'm 62 years old and it's still hard. What you need is a different perspective on life. Sometimes its good and sometimes it's horrible. The point. It's an adventure and a challenge. Always look at it as such. There is always a positive approach and that is to succeed. Surviving physically and mentally is a natural high. I have lost a wife and two kids spent time in both Christian an Muslim jails, have been without work for months on end have acquired and lost companies I have been up and down all the way and I'm still at it. If I could relieve my life up to now I would not change anything. I love the Adventure and the experience of being alive. Enjoy it in all its forms. You will not get another one.

Always. If you leave yourself open to seeing opportunity around you you'll find that there is always hope to be found and things to be done. The people who seem lucky or charmed in life usually are that way because they have their eyes open, not because of luck. People who pray are often among them (I'm agnostic so I'm saying this from a non-religious point of view) because they are looking for the opportunities that they believe were placed before them.

Don't overthink it. Just have faith that you'll find the answer. And be observant and active in life. Things can't happen when you are locked away worrying.

If U r Really Down, Then The Only way Is Up. Keep Praying And ask In Jesus Name

Depends. Praying and waiting won't help, ever. But praying will give you confidence if you truly believe somebody is listening to your prayers. In the end, you have to keep working hard, and taking control of your own life, with or without praying.

With prayer there is always hope , dear friend.
Stay strong through the tough times for they will not last forever, just as good times do not last.
I know that when I go through something difficult everything seems dark and hopeless but it doesnt last and when this passes, you can look back at what happened and have a better understanding as to why you went through what you did !

you know honestly... everything in life happens for a reason, sometimes we dont think so but things eventually always work out for the best. Stay strong, stay positive and dont think of your problems constantly. I always feel my life is so hard and no matter how hard I try nothing ever works out for me, I feel I have the worst luck! But I started to think recently, there is only so much you can do... so might as well let things happen and try not to worry about them. Everything like I said happens for reasons. God has so many plans for all of us, you will get through it. Stay strong, keep your head up! No sad times, smile :)

I think the same thing often, YES, there is hope.. It takes a lot of patience. Don't pray for patience till you are more secure in love. Just rock on and roll with the blows,, Jesus has promised He will give you peace with whatever trial you are in.. And He has promised that if it gets too hard for you He will provide a way of escape
