Lord, You are my hope, For You desire only what is best for me. When I am struggling, I hope that You will give me grace-filled strength. When I am disappointed, I hope that faith will help me to refocus. When I am lonely, I hope that Your love will see me through. When I fail, I hope in Your forgiveness. When I am happy, I hope that my joy will glorify You. When I am blessed in unexpected ways, I hope to see Your delight in the surprise. When I don’t know quite what to say, I hope to listen attentively in prayer. When I try to follow You, I hope to keep You in sight every step of the way. Amen.
