My church prayed a prayer that I want to share here.
Send your Spirit of truth, O God;
Rekindle your gifts within us:
Renew our faith, increase our hope and deepen our love , for the sake of a world in need
Faithful to your Word, O God, draw near to all who call on you; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory forever. Amen.
I have been searching for something to be thankful for this week. Then, I thought of hope. I am thankful that I have hope.
I find a small amount of hope helps me to get the energy to do my housework. Yet, no hope leaves me watching YouTube videos or starring at walls hardly blinking.
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. Anne LaMotta
God, I need hope for each day. You tell us to “pray for our daily bread.” Hope is as important to me as my daily bread. Without hope, I can do almost nothing. Without hope, I sleep too much and do nothing productive. Please supply me with the reassurance of your presence and a continual flow of hope. Amen
Thank You for the hope that You have given me throughout my life. Amen.
