Hope is an important spiritual principle that operates alongside our faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for. Hebrews 11:1
Hope (elpizō) means to have confidence and trust with expectation.
We have faith (pistis), trust, and reliance in God, who is our hope.
Faith is the substance (hupostasi) or confidence in what we hope for.
In other words, FAITH is the conviction or persuasion of what is true with confidence and trust in what we are expecting without yet seeing what we are hoping and trusting and believing for.
The Bible tells us to have hope in God’s mercy.
The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. Psalm 147: 11
God is our only hope because he will never fail us. His word is trustworthy.

We can be confident God hears our prayers. That he will deliver us from evil and provide our needs even when times are tough.
For in You, O Lord, I hope; You will hear, O Lord my God. Psalm 38: 15
But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. Psalm 33:18
God saves us from all our troubles as we put our hope and trust in him. As we wait patiently for his deliverance.
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for. Romans 8:24 25
