Dear God,

Where do we place our hope, O Lord?  Is it in success, friendships or wealth?  By this belief, hope will go up or down based on what we hope for.  But this hope is shallow, fraught with problems.  It is human made and ultimately will be discovered not to be hope at all.

Hope is deep.  It comes from a divine well, ever-flowing.  Hope is based on trust, not in something but in someone.  This hope buoys us up in good times and bad.  It keeps us breathing.  It gives us courage and strength and even power.  With this hope we know that which we desperately want or need is never as great as the hope we hold because we know that we know that we know hope connects us to you.

Thank you,

Holy God,

for hope

that keeps us alive.

Thank you

for being 

with us

both today

and always.

We are blessed

not just

with hope

but with you.

Love, Andrea
