Romans 12:12
Constantly rejoicing in hope (because of our confidence in Christ), steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer (continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength).

Hope can only be a power source when it believes in something and has faith in that belief. When we keep our wisdom based on the Bible and the promises, we have the assurance we need. The answer will never come if we hope for something without the Bible’s knowledge and faith. Our strength for answered prayers comes from our confidence in Jesus and the promises given to us by God.
