Why is it so hard to hope at times...
It's actually easier to not hope, because then you don't get let down if what you are hoping for doesn't happen. Which if you want to dig deep and really find the root issue of why it is hard for you to hope it can be many things such as: fear of rejection, self hatred, lack of confidence...you name it.
I struggled with fear of rejection for a good part of my high school years up until last fall when God showed me how I was letting it keep me from living my life. Praise Jesus He has set me free from this and I am walking in freedom! And this is why I have a hard time hoping for some things..because my first reaction is to protect myself from being rejected.
I think God is challenging me to hope for something that seems quite impossible right now...and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. But I am going to do what seems quite crazy,ridiculous, and at times feels stupid, and hope-for the impossible.
