When my son was diagnosed with Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS), the world shifted beneath our feet. It was one of those moments that divides life into before and after. Fear came crashing in, and the questions outnumbered the answers. The only phrase that permeated through my life was “Hold On to Hope.”
In the middle of that storm, Hebrews 10:23 became a lifeline:
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.”
It didn’t say, “Hold on when it’s easy,” or “Hold on when everything makes sense.” It said, unswervingly. Without turning. Without hesitation. Without giving in to the fear or the doubt.
That kind of hope doesn’t come from our own strength—it comes from knowing the character of God. And I had to decide: do I believe He is faithful, even when I can’t see the outcome? Even when healing doesn’t look how I imagined? Even when the journey is long, hard, and uncertain?
The answer—again and again—was yes.
There were days I had to whisper it through tears. There were days when I could only breathe it. But I held on. And God held us. Through hospital stays, setbacks, victories, and the beautiful, miraculous moments in between—He was faithful.
If you’re walking through something hard right now, this is for you: Don’t let go. Don’t lose hope. The One who promised is still good. Still present. Still faithful. Hold unswervingly. You are not alone.
