Maybe you’re familiar with the voice of reason. The adage means a person’s communication toward a particular issue is level-headed and reasonable.
Or, the voice of truth. Also a song title for the Christian band, Casting Crowns. For believers, the voice of truth comes directly from God and His Word.
Another voice comes directly from God’s Word. So let me introduce you to the voice of Hope.
I pray we listen carefully to her words. And we welcome Hope’s message into our heart to live forever. Finally, let Hope’s voice override every hopeless thought.
Without further ado, here’s the voice of Hope.
Unwavering Hope
God’s child,
The heavenly Father gave me to you as a gift; a stable, certain, and secure hope. I never waver based on circumstances, people, or opinions. You see, in an uncertain world, I’m an undeniable hope, an unshakable anchor for your soul.
But you possess the choice to hold fast to the confession of your hope without wavering, for God who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Because Christ lives in you, a glorious hope also resides in you (Colossians 1:27).
Sincerely, the voice of Hope
Hope’s Voice of Identity
Disciple of Christ,
When Jesus lives in you through the Holy Spirit, He brings me near. So hope’s not around the corner, off in the distance, on the other side of glory, or something you muster up in your own power. Jesus’ followers hope in Him—the hope above all hopes.
Hope describes your identity in Christ. Therefore, your Christian ID card contains descriptive terms: Beloved, heir, saint, chosen, forgiven, and free. You are the picture of hope.
Know who you are, Hope’s voice

Hope for the In-between
Dear Sheep,
No matter how many valleys you walk through. Or, how far life takes you away from green pastures or the promised land. I’m with you every step of the way. So in the in-between times, never give up hope.
Instead, walk in authentic faith and hope believing the Good Shepherd cares for you. He works behind the scenes and brings His Word to pass at the right time. Even it it doesn’t match the way you hoped it would all turn out. And although your fears and doubts try to haunt you at times. God often works in ways you cannot understand on this side of heaven.
Yours truly, faith-filled Hope
Living Hope
Greetings Saint,
Though you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed when you honor Christ as holy and Lord in your heart. Yet, stay prepared to give the reason for your hope to anyone who asks (1 Peter 3:13-14).
Prepare your mind for action by setting your hope fully on Jesus, a living hope, the grace brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:3,13).
Because one day you will see; hope was always coming.
Hopeful in Christ
Hope in the Waiting
Faithful one,
Even if the world falls apart and dark clouds hijack sunny days. When you wait on life to start looking up, you wait forever. Instead, look up to the Lord, your hope lies in Him (Psalm 39:9).
The drive-through window of life remains understocked with real hope. But the only hope worth waiting on rests in the Lord—straight from the ample, fully-stocked windows of heaven.
Because those who hope in the LORD and wait on Him renew their strength, soar like eagles, run without growing weary, and walk without being faint (Isaiah 40:31).
Divinely waiting, the voice of Hope

Hope’s Voice of Comfort
Dear Grieving Soul,
You never grieve as those without hope. You will see loved ones in Christ who went to heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:13).
Pain, grief, loss, hurt, and brokenness. There’s hope in every one. So, let go of every hurt, every loss, and every painful experience and memory. Then, lay it at the feet of Jesus.
You are never far from hope. In tragedy, hope’s there. During dark moments, hope covers with light. And hope soars above despair.
Signed, Comforting Hope

Hope is what the whole world is lo ging for–and we know the Source! Thank you for these beautiful and scriptural words.
Yes, Michele. People are searching for real hope and it’s only found in Jesus Christ,

Joanne, so thankful 1 Peter reminds us we are born again to a living hope. (1 Peter 1:3)
Thank you for bringing hope to the forefront today! What a great gift from our God.
Those who hope in the LORD and wait on Him renew their strength, soar like eagles, run without growing weary, and walk without being faint (Isaiah 40:31).
Karen, oh how we need to listen to the “voice of hope.” And may we carry her message to our world. You just did!
Debbie, I pray we let the voice of hope drown out the hopeless voices from the world and the enemy! And help others hear her loud and clear, too.
Loved your different aspects of Hope – especially the letter to the sheep. This month, more than ever, I’m convinced I’m a sheep. Beyond blessed to belong to the Good Shepherd.
Thanks, Jerralea. That one resonates with me this year as I walked through a dark valley. Thank goodness the Good Shepherd stays by our side and brings us hope!
We sure need the voice of hope too! It can be a light shining through the fog of dark days. Thanks, Karen.
Lisa, Christ in us is not only the Light of the world, but the hope of glory. (Col. 1:27)
What a beautiful reminder of the steadfastness of God’s promises to us. Thank you.
Lauren, hope has a name. It’s Jesus!
I appreciated this, Karen, especially the point about hope being understocked- praise the Lord we never run out in Him!
Thanks, Bethany. So grateful the windows of heaven are fully stocked and overflowing with the Hope of heaven.
