Soaring on the Wings of Eagles

Our scripture this week Isaiah 40:28-31: 

28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

The key line in this verse is this: those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. Watch the video below and let's think about that word, hope. How is it related to trust? What does it mean to hope and ultimately trust in the Lord? Did the girl in this video trust completly? What would you have done in her situation? What does it take to have complete trust in God?
