Here are several other quotes on hope from Jakes:
1. "You will have to deal with a lot of stuff, but I want the devil to know that though the storms keep on raging in my life, and sometimes it's hard to tell my days from night. There's hope that lies from within. If the storms don't cease and if the winds keeps on blowing in my life, my soul has been anchored ... You may see me cry sometimes. You may see me stumble sometimes, but you will never see me quit."
2. "God's grace is painted on the canvas of despair."

5. "There is a higher power, a higher influence, a God who rules and reigns and controls circumstances and situations that are beyond your area and realm of authority."
