Dear God,

Hope is always available through you.  When we feel ourselves falling, drowning or gasping for air, we know where and to whom to turn.  When we breathe in a full gulp of air, we breathe in the essence of love, mercy and comfort.  Hope is born at that moment as we keeping breathing in the air of heaven.

In this chaotic, divided nation, it is easy to lose hope.  It is easy to fall into fear, hopelessness and despair.  But you do not offer these, O God, no, you offer just the opposite.  With you we find every resource we need.  The air of your spirit will revive, renew and restore us.

The challenge is to keep our eye on you, to trust you and to find your daily word for us.  As we listen carefully we can find our way to peace and hope and courage and strength and even joy.

Hope-Giving God,

teach us

the way

to trust.

Show us

the way

to hope

and peace.

Give us

inner strength

for our

daily journey,

I pray.

Love, Andrea
