Hope For Tomorrow

Posted byElaine Fraser @Elaine_Fraser 2 Comments on Hope For Tomorrow

Humans need hope. Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.  

Vincent McNabb

Today is all we have. There are no guarantees for tomorrow. While that is true, we also need hope that tomorrow can be better.

Hope is found in the idea that there is a tomorrow where all things are possible. Whether it is a literal tomorrow, or the future generally, we all need to believe that tomorrow could be different.

We all want—

a tomorrow where we haven’t made any mistakes yet.

a tomorrow where good things can happen.

a tomorrow where circumstances can change.

Tomorrow’s story hasn’t been written yet. The image of a fresh page waiting to be filled with tomorrow’s story gives us hope.

Tomorrow is the possibility of a fresh start.

Tomorrow may or may not come, but what tomorrow gives us is the hope we need when our today is filled with disappointment at ourselves or others.

When our today is filled with sadness.

When our today is filled with loneliness.

When our today is filled with failure.

The prospect of a new day allows us the opportunity to—try again.

Start fresh.

Make a new decision.

Meet someone new.

Forgive.

Apologise.

Learn from yesterday,

 live for today,

hope for tomorrow.

Albert Einstein

A new day allows us the opportunity to gather our courage, to be brave and face the future with hope. It’s an opportunity to think about things differently and to use the lessons we learnt yesterday for our benefit tomorrow.

I don’t know how many times I’ve gone to bed with a worry-filled mind only to wake with a fresh focus and a sense of starting over.

As a writer, I get plenty of rejection, criticism, days of poor productivity or blocks, and the relentless questioning of why I do what I do.

Hope is a precious commodity for us all, but particularly for writers. Without hope, we wouldn’t send out our manuscript to yet another agent. Without hope, we wouldn’t pick up the pen and begin again. Without hope, we wouldn’t be writers at all.

So, if your today is filled with disappointment, keep hope in your heart and pray for a better tomorrow.

Blessings,

Elaine

  1. My daughter and I were just discussing how disheartening it is to enter what we think is great writing into a comp only to have it rejected. Thanks for giving us hope that tomorrow someone can see our work and love it! Blessings, Keona xx

    1. Rejection is so hard to deal with in any form and when it’s our precious words on the page, it feels very personal.

      Keep sending those words out! 🙏🙏🙏

      Blessings,
