Isaiah 49:23
" . . . you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.

Romans 5:3-5
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
