"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 WEB
Sometimes people use the word "hope" in a doubtful sense. They will say, "I hope I get that job", "I hope I get healed". The bible uses "hope" as another word for "believe" or "faith".
Have the Abraham type of hope.
Romans 4:
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed...
19 Without weakening in his faith...
20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief..., but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

There is an instance when this will not work. If you don't know what God has promised. It is all in the bible. That is the only way the devil will leave you alone. He did so when Jesus was in the wilderness. Each time he came Jesus let him know what was "written" in God's Word. We, as Christians, have the same authority.
Here is a scripture that covers everything, 3 John 1:2 (WEB) "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers."
