It says in Matthew 6:33, But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. If you seek God and not stuff, if you seek God and not just your own thing, you will be blessed. Its great to want hope, but our hope is found in Jesus Himself and having a personal relationship with Him. It says in Rom. 3:23 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Without confessing our sin, and coming before our Heavenly Father in humility, we cannot have a personal relationship with Him. He is so good, full of mercy, compassion, and of course love. Rom. 10:9 If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. If Jesus is not being lifted up then people cannot be drawn to Him for their hope. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Him. The cross needs to be preached for true deliverance. Hope is good but it doesn't save, Jesus Saves.
