Have you ever felt so bad that you wish that you were never born, you are tired of bad things happen to you always and when people tell you to have hope feels to far from you.
Sometimes life will serve you lemons instead of oranges and sometimes when you expect roses it will give you thorns. But that doesn’t mean you give up Afterall life is not fair (Ecclesiastes 9:11).
Hopelessness is not just a feeling—it a demonic spirit designed to disconnect you from faith and abort your destiny. Where hope dies, faith becomes paralyzed. Where faith is paralyzed, miracles cease. That is why the enemy targets hope: because hope is the womb where miracles are conceived.
Examples Of People Who Hope Was All Lost.
Sometimes good people just like:
1. Job – Lost Everything, Yet Chose to Worship
Job who was blameless and upright; and feared God and shunned evil (Job 1:1-2:10). Job, a righteous, God-fearing man, experienced severe trials and afflictions. Job lost all of his property, his children died, and he suffered great physical agony.
What He Did:
- He refused to curse God.
- He worshipped even through pain: “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him” (Job 13:15).
Outcome: God restored him double.
Lesson: When all hope is gone—worship is a weapon.
2.Abraham – 99 Years Old, No Hope for a Child

What He Did:
- He believed in hope against hope.
- Continued to declare the promise. You are not sustaining yourself—God is the Author and Finisher of your story. If He began it, He has already seen the ending. “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” – Philippians 1:6
- . The answer was prepared before the problem existed. “Before you call, I will answer.” – Isaiah 65:24

4. The Thief on the Cross – No Future, No Hope

Alway when times are tough look for the lesson you will grow through what you go through the question is are you ready to go through the lesson. So, when you go through hard times what are you going to do? The question is are you going to let this one situation dictate the whole cause of your life.
God’s Faithfulness Is Not Based on Your Feelings
- Even when you are faithless, He remains faithful.
- Your emotions may change, but His covenant does not.
“For I am the Lord, I change not.” – Malachi 3:6
Many of us when faced with challenges we fall apart and result to cheap escape mechanisms like drinking, taking drugs and even womanizing to try and hide from that situation but the truth is that is not the solution yet. The solution is to face the situation and take the lesson it brings with it.
God Has a Way of Turning Your Lowest Point into a Launchpad
- The pit led Joseph to the palace but Joseph waited for 13 years from the pit to the palace.
- The wilderness prepared David for the throne but David waited 15 years after being anointed.
- The cross was the doorway to resurrection.
- If God gave you a promise, it has an appointed time (Habakkuk 2:3).
- When God seems silent, He is often working behind the scenes or testing the maturity of your faith.
- A teacher is silent during the test, but He hasn’t left the room. God’s silence is not absence—it’s a test of endurance and trust. Silence is a spiritual test before promotion. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5
Your greatest breakdown often precedes your greatest breakthrough. God waits until nothing else can be credited but His power.
Your strength may be gone, but His is not. Your resources may have dried up, but Heaven never goes bankrupt. When man’s help ends, God’s help begins.
When it seems all doors are shut, it is because He is about to open the only door that leads to destiny.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord.” – Zechariah 4:6
You Are Not Alone
- Elijah thought he was the only one left, but God had 7,000 preserved.
- The enemy isolates to destroy. God brings fellowship to restore.
“I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20
The Valley Is Not Your Destination
- Valleys are temporary transitions, not final addresses.
- You walk through the valley; you do not settle in it.
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” – Psalm 23:4
The Enemy Attacks Most When Your Breakthrough Is Nearest
- Satan attacks intensively at the brink of major change.
- Darkness is always thickest right before the dawn. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” – Psalm 30:5
- Speak, don’t stay silent. God is not moved by silent suffering but by desperate faith. God did not speak to the bones—He told Ezekiel to do it. There are situations God is waiting for you to prophesy over. “This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and delivered him out of all his troubles.” – Psalm 34:6.
- Decree, don’t collapse. “You shall decree a thing, and it shall be established.” – Job 22:28
- Say aloud: “I command every dead promise, closed door, missed opportunity—hear the Word of the Lord—ARISE!”
- hopelessness is a spirit assigned to abort destiny. It whispers: “Stop praying… stop believing… there’s no point.”
- Shift the Battle from Earth to Heaven. Stop battling in your head or emotions. Move the fight into the spirit through worship, tongues, declarations, and prophetic acts.
- Play worship and lift your hands even if you feel nothing. Worship creates an atmosphere where miracles are born
Don’t deny your pain, but don’t let it define your future. David cried out in despair many times, yet always ended with “But I will hope continually and praise You more and more” (Psalm 71:14). Say aloud: “This is not the end of my story. God is still writing.”
