This document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing different individuals who found hope or encouragement through faith. It references Samuel setting up the stone of Ebenezer to commemorate God's help, David encouraging himself through prayer when faced with difficulties, and Abraham and Sarah receiving God's promise that Sarah would bear a son in her old age despite it being seemingly impossible. The overarching message is to remember to hope again through encouraging oneself to pray and have faith in God despite one's circumstances.

said, Behold, in the tent. 18:10 And He said, I will certainly return
to you according to the time of life, and lo, Sarah your wife shall
have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door which was behind
Him. 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, far gone in days,
and it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After my
being old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 18:13
And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall
I, who am old, truly bear a child? 18:14 Is anything too hard for
Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return again, according to the
time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
