Hope is a word we use often as It is so intermingled with faith.
Hebrews 11: 1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Jeremiah 29: 11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Hebrews 6: 19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul,
firm and secure.

Prayer Of Hope
God of Love and Mercy, ease my burdens,
calm any anxieties, strengthen my faith,
and increase my trust and confidence

Bless me each day with Your healing grace,
with health in mind and body, and

Grant me the courage I need, dear Lord,
to face all difficulties,
knowing that with Your help,
miracles happen
and lives are restored.
Amen
