Scripture & Prayer Submitted by: Millie McFarland
Theme: "New Hope"
Eternal Father, I give you all the honor, glory and praise. I lift up your holy name on high and I give you my total worship. I place my total trust, "hope" and my life in your hands.
Father, as the days go by in this "new" year I see your mighty hand at work and that gives me "new hope" in you. I am grateful for who you are and all that you do. You have provided for me, have taken care of me and have lifted me up when I was at my weakest and for that I thank you. Father, you are always working, even when I don't see it. You are truly faithful.
Father, I lift up all those that are feeling hopeless, cast down, isolated and depressed. I pray that you give them "hope", lift them up, surround them with love and give them a reason to live in you. Minister to them in a personal way and reassure them that they are not alone. I pray they seek your face and worship you in spirit and in truth.
Lord, I thank you for hearing my prayer and for always inclining your ear to my hearts cry. I thank you for the "hope" I have in you. In the matchless name of Jesus I pray.
Amen
