Sam's Schoolwork - Religion - Personal Response, Pg. 59

I think that to hope against hope is when one's hope is to have hope in situations where they have none. Not just wishing for a hope, or a way of escape, but rather when one wishes to be able to have hope even when there is no escape. This has to be God given. I think the area in my life that I have the least hope in God is either in the end times (I absolutely hate end - time references and stuff. Always freaks me out completely) and in myself. I know God can fix me up, but I am quite worried that I may not accept what He wants me to do, or that I actually am on the right path, and haven't messed up. I do not know which road I am supposed to take, and so doubt myself.
