“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12
Father,
When our hearts cry out with sadness as ungodliness pervades our culture, be our Hope. When we are afflicted, discouraged and weary, may Your Presence be a new reservoir of trust in Your Goodness and Your Plan. When we come to an end of ourselves, remind us to pray with faithful hearts to our God “who is and who was and who is to come.” (Rev. 1:8)
Amen and Amen!
