New King James Version psalm 31: 14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” 15 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.

Faith Journey | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
In a Biblical context, hope is a confident expectation and desire for future good, rooted in faith in God's promises and His redemptive acts, rather than a mere wish for something good to happen.
