Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it's an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we're facing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.

Hope is trust in God's promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.
