hope for something **

Why should we just hope for someone to happen by?

I couldn't hope for things to be going better than they are at the moment.

The 27-artist show does not make you hope for a lot more of the same, however.

She'd known better than to hope for any more from the very start.

We will have to hope for a better result next year.

The others will have to stay here and hope for the best.

But I would hold out and hope for something better.

You have to go from one race to another and hope for the best.
