I believe in God and hope is trusting God to act in his good timing, I hope some of you feel the same way.

Dear inquirer,
say this prayer:
"Dear God, I know that I'm a sinner, and I know that you love and care for me deeply. I believe that your son Jesus Christ died on the cross for me. Please forgive my sins and guide me in the right path. I love you with my whole life, my whole heart, my mind, body and soul. Please mold me into a new person so that I may love you as you love me, and love my neighbors as myself. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen."
After saying this, take a quite moment to reflect on who you are, what's good about you and what you need to change. Know this; you don't really put your "hope" in God. You trust in him, and hope comes as a second thought. But with God, you can't go wrong, so you can always put your trust in him no matter what. And just hope for the best. And make sure your church has an excellent program too. Very few churches are efficient in their teachings.
Lastly, read your Bible, especially the Book of Psalms. It'll teach you a lot about what you want to know. I know this is long, but I'm a young man trying to find God myself. As (so called) Christians, we have to pray everyday and encourage each other. Thank you for asking, and God bless.
PS: Take 1 step toward Him, and He takes 2 toward you. Soon, He will find you before find him.

I put my hope in God because I know he loves me and He is the one thing in my life I can count on. If there is no God, there is no point to life... and I know that life has a reaon.

as sasquatch's daughter,
most have to put their hope in something greater then them because they dont have much hope in the world or themselves. im not atheist and and cant blame anyone for having no faith in the world, but whatever you belive is up there has better things to do. your soul has been put in certian situations for certian reasons. most cant learn from others mistakes so they have to make them themselves.put hope in yourself tha you can learn from others mistakes and dont try to depend on anythingor anyone. you will have a much more fufilling life)

In what else or in whom else can I put my hope in? Drugs? Alcohol? Sex? Money, winning the lottery? Doctors, Scientists, the crumbling world that we live in?
My only hope is in God.

How can you not? Open your eyes darling, do you really think that Earth could just be like this for no reason? Do you really think a Big Bang created all of the diverse life on this planet? You Will See.

What, you want us to put hope in you Satan?
Do you know what faith is?
Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
" If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". I Jn.

I guess it depends upon whether or not you believe that God is benevolent or not. Also whether or not he plays an active role in this world.
An interesting saying from the mideast takes a middle road and says, "Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel..."

The odds are better with God than they are in putting hopes in mankind.
