We Still Have Hope!
Heavenly Father I give you praise and thank you for another day that you have decided to wake me up. In a world now that is full of chaos and things seem to be out of control, I know that you are still in control. I join with the songwriter who penned the lyrics, “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness, I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name.”
We usually pray and ask for material things, but today we ask you to increase our faith. In a world that is shaken, we ask that you help us to not have our faith shaken and to keep us on that firm foundation, which is you. Help us dear Lord to keep our eyes fixed on you and not what is going on around us. You said in your word “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Father God, I trust in you in spite of what the enemy has planned for me, because I know that you have for me are bigger and better plans. Although I may not be able to understand everything that’s going around me, I end this prayer by letting you know that I trust you. Even when I can’t trace you, I’ll still trust you. You are my hope!
Amen!!
