A Prayer for New Hope
O Father, I look around me to see the beautiful
world which You have given me.
The majestic mountains, the restful blue skies, and
the towering trees are all the handiwork of Your greatness.
As the wistful breezes stir the air, so, O Lord,
stir my heart and fill my life with Your loving Spirit.
Reach down and touch my life with Yours.
For with Your special touch, O Lord, I am changed.
I gain new hope, when all around I see despair.
I receive new faith, when struggles and hurts are great.
I am bathed in Your peace, when tensions and worries abound.
And bright ideas come, when all possibilities seem lost.
So it is no wonder that I am glad that I come with praise and thankfulness.
For I know that Your goodness will never end.
I rejoice in the assurance that even now You are
leading me into new and challenging possibilities.
Hear me now as I pray. Amen. |
