A Prayer for a Hope that is Secure and Unwavering
"But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do." - Psalm 73:28.
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.”
Friend, I don't know exactly what you are going through right now, but I do know that God sees you, and even when it feels like He has checked out, I can assure you He is there with you. And here’s the other good news: even if, like me, faith doesn’t come naturally to you, we can ask God to help us in our unbelief (Mark 9:24).
Heavenly Father, we come before you in reverent worship. You alone are worthy of our praise and adoration. Forgive us when we doubt and question you; we are thankful you are a God of grace and mercy. Help us to call out to you in our unbelief. When our faith is wavering and our hope dwindling, give us strength to fight the good fight and finish the race set before us.
Dear Lord, we come before you with hearts full of gratitude for the wonderful gift of community that you have blessed us with. In times when our faith feels fragile and vulnerable, help us to reach out to our brothers and sisters in Christ for counsel, prayer, and support. Show us how we can be a source of strength and encouragement to others, building each other up in love and faith.
Guide us, dear God, as we seek ways to deepen our connections with one another, forging bonds that are rooted in your love and grace. May we always be willing to lend a helping hand, offer a listening ear, and share in each other's joys and sorrows.
We thank you, Lord, for the beautiful tapestry of relationships that you have woven in our lives. May we continue to grow in unity and fellowship, shining your light brightly in our community. We love you, Lord, and we are grateful for your presence in our midst. Amen
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
