we hope
To wait for, to hope for, to look with expectation. The term often expresses a state of confident anticipation, whether of a person, event, or deliverance, sometimes with connotations of endurance or steadfastness during the period of waiting. The act of 'waiting' may involve gathering together, but primarily implies a psychological or emotional stance of expectation, trust, or hope, sometimes directed toward the deity.
