I was working on my website recently and stumbled across this printable I created in 2019 featuring a collection of hope-filled Scripture references entitled, Clinging to Hope. There was a similar worksheet given to me when I first began to see a biblical counselor to help me through a difficult season of depression. I recall how meaningful it was for my counselor to hand me a page filled with Scriptures about hope. She told me to pick one that was especially comforting to me, and to endeavor to memorize it. To this day, I still remember the Scripture I chose:

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.Psalm 62:5-6 ESV
Life has gotten busy since I created this handout, but the need for reminders of hope still remain. I'd like to offer this printable as a free gift to you. Use it for personal reflection, print out copies to hand out to people you know, or stock a pile in the church offices as a ready-to-go on-demand resource. However you decide to use it, may the rock-solid promise of the hope we have in Christ help to persevere you through whatever trials you may be walking through today.
