Heavenly Father, When I long for an answer to my prayers, Please renew my hope That if Your timeline isn’t mine, You will be patient with me. When what I do seems to fall short, Please renew my hope, For Your work is constantly accomplished By imperfect but faithful followers like me. When I am discouraged, Please renew my hope, For on the Cross, even Jesus felt abandoned, Although the feeling doesn’t make it so. When in times of struggle I falter, Please keep me from stumbling, For in Your love and mercy, You desire That my joy will one day be complete. Amen. I believe!
