a prayer for hope

Gracious God of all hope,

We come to you admitting that our minds are full of hopeless thoughts.

We get so discouraged that we lose sight of all we have to be grateful for.

Even so, we call out to you, in thankfulness and praise.

Jesus, you are the source of our inner strength.

We give you all the weariness, the burdens, the weight, and exhaustion.

We ask for a deep sense of renewed strength and hope.

In our weakness, your power is made perfect in our lives.

Teach us to have hope and abide in your encouragement.

When darkness covers our lives, teach us to light a spiritual candle.

Show us how to have, and live in, hope in these hopeless times.

Bless us that we might rest and trust in your name.

To you belongs all honor and praise, now and forever more.

Amen.
