The Migraine Diva: #MHAMBC Day 29

What IS Hope?: We left his one for late in the month so everyone would have been thinking about hope. This one may be one of the more challenging prompts for you, or it may be one of the easiest. Please define hope. Tell us what it is to you, and what it isn't.

Over the past thirty days, I have written about hope in so many different ways. Hope at the end of the day to me is the equivalent to faith. I believe in God and in prayer and that through Him, all things are possible. Without my faith in God I would not have any hope. This life of mine is made up of so many variables that aren't always in my control. It is because of this that I choose to give it up to a higher power. When my pain is uncontrollable, I give it to God. When treatments fail and I am out of options, I give it to God. When my depression starts to deceive my thoughts and beliefs, I give it to God. Whenever I feel incapable of giving anymore I ask God to strengthen me and to renew my spirit. I cannot walk this path alone. And although I feel like the burden I carry will undoubtedly break me, I am reminded that He never gives me anything I cannot handle. He will not forsake me nor abandon me. My life as a migraineur has allowed me the opportunity to grow in my faith. Prayer has literally saved my life and it will continue to be through prayer that I will keep residing in hope.
