Hope is a form of Prayer

Hope drills down into a specific definition found mostly in religious doctrine, but hope is expansive enough in meaning, to include a multi-dimensional perspective.  Hope can be a form of prayer and spirituality for the agnostic and the atheist.  The agnostic can have hope but does not either believe or disbelieve in a God.  The atheist can have hope, just not hope because there is a God.  You don’t have to be religious to have hope.  Hope lends itself to a "prayerful experience" during challenging and difficult times.  The prayerful experience is not religious put a positive experience evoking strength, goodness, and healing.  Having multiple forms of hope can therefore be a universal key to unlocking the spiritual potential within the agnostics, the atheist, and the religious and having hope invigorates the healing process.
