What does it mean to place hope in something?

Dictionary states that it is the feeling that it is a feeling of what is wanted, can be had or that events will turn out for the best.
As a verb it is to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence, to believe, desire, or trust.

So by placing our hope on the Lord is placing our trusts in him and believe and have confidence that the the outcomes will be the best.

Psalm 33:18-22

The eyes of the Lord are on those who FEAR him,
On those whose HOPE is in his UNFAILING LOVE
Wait in HOPE for the Lord
he is our HELP and our SHIELD
In him our hearts rejoice as we TRUST in his holy name

To have faith and believe in the power of God's name that what he says in his word is true and as I place my TRUST and depend on his name and unfailing love my heart will rejoice as an outcome. His name holds power and so many attributes as shown in his word. Jesus name heals, sets people free, = life hope love faith and the list goes on...

It's so hard to trust sometimes especially when the circumstances around us seems so dim and so hard to comprehend. Yes God's understanding and ways are definately much higher and his timing is always right but in the midst of what we go through we often get confused because we want things to happen right now and quick! Hence that's what I feel means to "wait" on the Lord. Not to rush things or expect a quick fix but to wait and trust the Lord.

I know I have to learn to trust the Lord more and to know in my heart that in his unfailing love he has everything under control.
To keep HOPING and placing my trust in the dreams that he has install for us.
