A Prayer for Worshiping and Trusting the God of Hope

     May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Rom. 15:13 ESV)

   Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isa. 41:10 ESV)

   Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Pet. 1:13 ESV)

    Dear heavenly Father, I begin this day so very thankful for your Word. As I meditate and pray my way through these Scriptures, I’m deeply grateful you chose to reveal yourself to us with words we can understand and trust. Though we don’t worship the Bible, we worship you because of the Bible.

     Today, in particular, I’m thankful to know and worship you as the God of hope. In a world of predictable unpredictability’s; unsettling circumstances; and broken people, places, and things, it is a source of immeasurable joy and peace to know that you love us and are in control of all things. And thank you that you intend for us to abound in hope; and not just have enough hope to get by on.

     We don’t have to be afraid or be dismayed by anything or anyone, for your righteous right hand has a firm hold on us, and your grip is the grip of grace. You are fully with us and you are completely for us. We know this to be true because of your gift of Jesus. You loved us so much you gave your one and only Son, so that, instead of perishing, we would have eternal life. Father, thank you that the gospel is true, and that you really do love us this much.

     Because you have already given us so much grace in Jesus, I choose to obey you and set my hope fully on the grace yet to be given—the even greater grace we receive when Jesus returns. Father, thank you for being so very generous—so hope igniting and peace fueling. So very Amen I pray, in Jesus’ holy and loving name.
