The Days of Hope is a story about a young ten-year-old girl named Hope and how she learns to pray to God when she is worried about something. Her worries include talking to her neighbor, performing in her fourth-grade school play, and what a boy in her class says to her. Her neighbor teaches her how to pray, and Hope uses this prayer to calm her worries. She also receives encouragement from her family and uses that encouragement to help others. The Days of Hope is based on the word hope. Hope is what we look forward to and what we expect to happen. Often, we need to pray to God to be sure that what we hope for is a good thing. We can pray that God will be with us when we are worried or afraid. Hope can give us peace and joy.
