Biblical Answer

When life feels unbearable, it can be challenging to find hope. However, as Christians, we are called to have hope in God. The Bible tells us that hope is a skill that develops over time, and it is also a corporate venture that needs the reminders of the body of Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:11). This means that we need to commit ourselves to a church where the story of God's love and redemption is told, and seek opportunities for daily reminders of God's presence and power in our lives.

One of the reasons we may struggle to find hope is because we have lost sight of God's sovereignty and goodness. We may feel like our hopes are empty or hollow, and that hopelessness is going to rule the day. However, as Christians, we know that God is in control, and that He is working everything out for our good (Romans 8:28). We also know that Jesus is the source of our hope, and that He offers us a hope that is not based on our circumstances, but on His character and promises. When we look to God, we find that He is our rock, our refuge, and our salvation (Psalm 91:2). He is the one who can give us the strength and courage to face whatever challenges we are facing, and to trust in His goodness and love.

So, how can we find hope when life feels unbearable? First, we need to look to God. We need to seek Him, to pray for eyes to see Him, and to trust in His goodness and love. We need to build our hope on Him, and to remind ourselves daily of His presence and power in our lives. We also need to be part of a community of believers who can support and encourage us in our walk with God. By doing so, we can develop a sense of hope that is not based on our circumstances, but on God's character and promises. As the Bible says, "Hope is a skill that develops over time," and it is also a corporate venture that needs the reminders of the body of Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:11). By looking to God and being part of a community of believers, we can find hope in the midst of unbearable circumstances.
