Our Daily Prayer for Saturday - Rev. Elsie A. Nixon

Yet this I call to mind

and therefore I have hope:

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
— Lamentations 3:21-23 (NIV)

PRAYER – (HOPE)

Hope is an unbreakable spiritual lifeline in Jesus Christ.

Father God most holy; we give you honor and glory always, and we magnify your name.

As you have done before, we know you will show your power and your glory in our lives. I pray that your Holy Spirit will reign continuously in us and that your people will remain strong in faith; as we trust you and patiently wait using good wisdom, help us dear Lord, to hold steadfast in you God.

We rely on your word God; in all despair and trials of life; even in this unprecedented time, help us to be a beacon of light to others, I ask Father God, for your comforting reassurance of your love, your favor, your grace and your mercy.  When things seems dim and we are tempted to lose hope, Heavenly Father help us to pick up the pieces, wipe our tears and look to the hills from where our help comes, for only you God can make what seems impossible to be possible in these  trying times.

Father God in Jesus name we pull down the strongholds of todays issues. I pray that we will triumph with your help God and that we will live in the power of Your Holy Spirit with Love and Joy.

Lord, we place our faith and trust in you for we know that you are our hope as you said in your word, "you will never leave us or forsake us", Heavenly Father, as we walk not by sight but by faith, we take comfort knowing that you will never fail us, in Jesus name AMEN.
