If you are feeling depressed and hopeless because your expectations have not been met, then turn to the word of God for comfort and encouragement. The Bible says in Romans 15:13, "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." So even though you may be feeling down and out right now, know that there is hope in the Lord. All you need is faith and His love will see you through.
