21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord (Lamentations 3:21-26).
God asks us to both hope and quietly wait. Basically, we are to be patient and content at all times. This can be very difficult though, especially if we are hurting or in need. But God desires our full trust and faithfulness and He asks that we do these continually. Our trust and faithfulness is built through relying on God and finding that in due time His provisions are the only solution to our troubles. This is the hope of the Gospel.
