Our faith gives us hope

Greetings:
In studying the Word of God we see the words hope and faith used in many instances.
Are they one in the same?
What is hope and how is it different than faith?
Hope is a looking forward to the future with great expectations that things will turn out well.  It is looking forward to a vacation or a special event.  Hope is joyful anticipation.  Hope is having a positive outlook, being optimistic.
Faith is the solid foundation that we stand upon at all times.  It is the here and now of our belief.
In Hebrews 11:1 we do read that hope and faith are intermingled. It reads: “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”
Paul reminds us in Romans 8:24-25 (NLT): “We were given this hope when we were saved. If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it.  But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.”
In Psalm 10:17 (NLT), we read:"Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them."
And we get good advice in Psalm 94:19 (NLT), which reads: “When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer."
Hope is an uplifting, spiritual feeling, a deep rooted conviction to believe.
Hope gives us strength in the bad times. Hope gives us the push and the 'keep on going' drive when our body and mind tells us to stop and give up. 
In simple terms, our faith gives us hope in the Lord. Our faith that God will keep his promise gives us hope.
Be blessed.
