I. HOPEFUL THOUGHTS
Everyone of us has dreams. Some are just for a moment and some for long term. Its only a natural aspiration to be successful for every decisions that we make. We want to have the best by doing our best but sometimes our best is not good enough.
II. HINDRANCES
Adolescence is a stressful time. We are looking for individuals in whom we can place our confidence. Certainly we would have to agree that for many of us, confidence is placed in "the things of this world." But the question is: "Is it reliable to trust and have perfect hope in this world?"
III.WHAT CAN HELP ME TO MAINTAIN MY HOPEFUL THOUGHTS?
True Confidence can only be found in God. Our God is faithful. What he promises. He will fulfil. When we faithfully follow Him, we can be confident that we will be victorious. Therefore, He is my living hope and for me to build confidence is to first know : (1) God's nature, (2) God's purpose and plan, (3) God's love, and (4) God's direction and power.
