What do you say to someone who’s feeling hopeless and asks for your help?
This isn’t a rhetorical question. We all encounter family members and friends who have lost hope. They struggle to cope with financial uncertainties, job loss, or the prospect of losing their home. They confront the reality of death or illness. They mourn broken relationships and shattered dreams.
As I talk to individuals and groups about my story of rediscovering hope, I’m sometimes a bit overwhelmed by the number of people who search desperately for escape from hopelessness. Beyond sharing my personal experience, I’m often unsure of the “right” words to offer.
I’m fairly certain that there’s no magic answer to such a difficult question. I’d like to hear your thoughts.
