Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
— Romans 5:5 NKJV

Scripture & Prayer Submitted by: Valerie Rodriguez

Theme: "New Beginnings: Hope"

I thank you Lord, that my "hope" is in you. Although this past year has been difficult at times; there are many things I am grateful and thankful for. Just remembering and knowing that You are always in control, and that nothing surprises our Lord, has helped me cope in these troubled times.

Deuteronomy 31:16 NIV. 

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you: He will never leave you nor forsake you.

I pray we would share the love and "hope" you have given us. I pray that you give me love and compassion for others that only You can give Lord. I pray for comfort for those who have lost loved ones, financial blessings to those in need, and healing for those who are sick. Lord, I pray that people would come to know Your Son Jesus in a special, personal way and build relationship with you. In this "new" year let us keep our hearts and minds focused on You Lord. 

Amen
