Never Give Up (Middle School)Sample

“Don’t lose hope!” I don’t know about you, but this is a phrase that I hear a lot. Whenever something difficult happens, everyone tells us to “keep hoping,” and “just hope for the best.” And while they may be used way too much, the truth is, it’s important to have hope, especially in hard times.

It’s important to hope that God will get us through this, and it’s important to hope for better days. Hope is a sign of resilience. Hope helps us to keep going from day to day!

David, the writer of this verse, put his hope in God. Because of that, he knew he’d make it through whatever challenge he was facing. That’s true for us, too! When our hope is in God, we know that we will make it through because we know God’s best for us is better than what we’re going through right now. God will help us through the challenges that the world throws at us.

Today, ask God to help you place your hope in God and be resilient through whatever challenge you are facing right now.
