where does "hope" come from and how can you replenish your supply?

From Pandora's box -  after all the ills came, we got hope too.  Just open up, Pandora's box is bottomless.

This could be interpreted as meaning that you will find success ("reach beyond the stars") when you accept and make the best out of your current circumstances("rejoice in the possibilities I have today") instead of sitting and complaining about all the evil life has given you (you "rise" to embrace the good instead).\n\nIt could also mean that you should stop waiting for a perfect moment/opportunity to come along ("rejoice in the possibilities I have today"). Instead, you should work with what you have right now and you will be surprised how far that will take you towards your goals ("reach beyond the stars")

At one point in our lives, we all go through situations that will test our faith, that would want us to end our life.  I should know because it happened to me as well.\n\nWhat I am trying to say is that no matter how bad things get, never give your hopes up:  For yourself, for your boyfriend, and your situation.\n\nYou need to pray and seek God because at the end of every line, it is only Him who can give us all the answers we need.\n\nJeremiah 29:13 says "If you seek me you will find me when you seek me with all of your heart."\n\nIt means that you need to seek God with every fiber of your being.\n\nSometimes, we may not like the answer He will give us thinking that ours is better, but know that He will not do anything that will cause us harm.\n\n”‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’” (Jeremiah 29:11-13, NIV)\n\nEnding your life should NEVER be an option.

I think there are only two ways. One is prayer and the other is read and search the scriptures. And if you feel that God is delaying the answer then you have to wait. And yes, I know what you said. I have heard that way. You pray to God sincerely about doing something and wanting his way. And if you feel peace about it in your mind that is one way of knowing that God might want it. These are for things which are not explicitly stated in scripture. \n\nI don't think I need to explain to you that God hears your prayers. You know that very well. \n\nBut by reading God's word and searching the scriptures you might be able to obtain specific promises at times. here I am again quoting from another sermon of Spurgeon..hope that helps this time too!!\n\nPower resides in “Thus says the Lord!” The man who can grasp by faith, “He has said,” has an all-conquering weapon in his hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is that which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God’s Covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of death, will not the corruptions within, and the temptations without, will not the trials from above, and the temptations from beneath all seem but light afflictions when we can hide ourselves behind the bulwark of, “He has said”? Whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, “He has said” must be our daily resort.\n\nWe should be able to quote the promises of God when we would solve a difficulty or overthrow a doubt. “He has said,” is the foundation of all riches, and the fountain of all comfort. Let it dwell in you richly as “a well of water, springing up unto everlasting life.”\n\n“Wait on the Lord,” said Isaiah, and then he added, “Wait, I say, on the Lord,” as if his own experience led him to echo the voice of God to his hearers. Test the promise, take God’s banknote to the counter and mark if it is cashed. Grasp the lever, which He ordains to lift your trials, and see if it possesses real power.

The absence of HOPE...

because if you feel deprived or denied of something (food in your case); you want to fill that void with something else, to satisfy another craving.  Both bring you comfort; you're just substituting one for the other.

Its not the ONLY way, but it is the most powerful. And God will send you people who have gone through the exact same thing. Through them he can help you SO much. Even in times of your most DIRE need.

When my son was delivered, I had lost a lot of blood and my blood pressure was very low, and kept dropping. I could hardly breathe and felt as if I were going to pass out. The doctor ordered blood for me. This was back in '89 when aids was often not found in blood until after it was given. I was terrified of receiving someone else's blood that may be tainted with disease. So, I begged the doctor not to give it to me. He smiled and said, "I tell you what, if your blood pressure rises by the time they get here with the blood, I won't give it to you." He looked at me as if he were just trying to humor me, but I said "ok," and began to pray. I was so terrified and was shaking in fear and from being cold. I was crying and so upset. But, after I finished praying, I felt better. The blood arrived, and the doctor instructed the nurse to check my blood pressure. It was fine, that quick. The doctor said, "Well, I don't know how you managed to do that, but your blood pressure is fine now." I told him I prayed, and he just looked at me funny. The nurse asked him what she should do, and he told her nothing that I was fine. \n\nAnother time, I came down with pain from head to toe and could hardly move for a couple of months. The doctor told me that it was a form of arthritis from a virus, and that when it left, I would be left with arthritis somewhere in my body. A neighbor asked if she could pray for me. I agreed, and felt something strange, immediately. I was not healed that day, but a couple of days later, I was 100% better and felt better than I had in a long time. I was not left with arthritis anywhere. That was back in 1990.\n\nI would like to add that God does not always give us what we want. He is not a genie in a bottle that grants wishes. He acts on what is best for Him and us. He knows what works will help us and others, so sometimes our prayers SEEM unanswered, but you must remember that God is always in control, and wants only the BEST for us.

Promises are like babies:  easy to make, hard to deliver.  \n\nPromises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.  \n\n\nHalf the promises people say were never kept, were never made.  \n\n\nAnd be these juggling friends no more believ'd,\nThat palter with us in a double sense;\nThat keep the word of promise to our ear\nAnd break it to our hope.\n\n\nWe promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears.  \n\nPromise only what you can deliver.  Then deliver more than you promise.  \n\n\nTo promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing.

Some people also have found help through fasting. This is when you go without food or water intentially. When I do this, I do it for two meals or twenty-four hours. Before you begin, you pray and explain that you are doing this to show humility and that you want to find the answer to such and such during the time. Then several times throughout the day, pray again about your question. End with prayer again.

well, "remedied" is the past participle of remedy, so you are using it correctly in passive voice...\n\nhowever, I think you are missing a "could" between "their land" and "be consumed"\n\nLike this:\nHopefully this would lessen the problem and fear of the people thinking that their land *could* be consumed because of its crucial situation now due to flashflood, if this could not be remedied. \n\nAlso, some purists might give you trouble for using "hopefully" as you have here as an introductory word to mean "it is hoped" (as opposed to using it as an adverb to mean "in a hopeful manner") But those are people who have trouble dealing with change, and should be shot (well, at least given the silent treatment)

"God Help Them who Help Themself"\n\n     For me, this means that people that are lost in life or are always alone are helped by God by giving them faith, hope and love.
