Hope is never lost

"Hope is an anchor to the soul…Hope is a steadying influence. To say it is an anchor is to say it can keep us from drifting aimlessly or getting caught in whirlpools or running into sandbars. Hope, the anchor, is essential in this world so full of tidal waves. Sometimes those waves slap us from behind, sometimes we see them coming but cannot stop them or get out of the way. 

In all cases hope ties us to safety. The waves come and go in their fury or playfulness, 

but hope is always there if we will but use this sure anchor." 

Elaine L. Jack

"We must be careful, as we seek to become more and more Christlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible... We must not lose hope. Hope is an anchor to the souls of men... The Lord is pleased with every effort, even the tiny, daily ones in which we strive to be more like Him." 

Ezra Taft Benson

Because of Him, guilt becomes peace. Because of Him, we have second chances. 

"Believe in miracles. ... Hope is never lost."
