Dear God,

How do we hope when all our hope is gone?  Where do we find our hope once again?  Where can we turn?

My sister must surely be asking these questions.  Hope when found is so wonderful that everything takes on a new hue.  But when lost, all we can see is darkness.  What is hope if not a trust that we are present in a very present world believing we are held by the One who created hope for humans in a finite world.

I am holding my sister's hope right now until she can take it back.

Holy God,
Giver of Life,
Peace Giver,
thank you
for your promise
to be
with us always.
Forgive us
when we
forget your promise.
Hold us fast
when we
cannot hold ourselves,
I pray.
Please help
my sister.

Love, Andrea
