Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 1/20

I know so many folks who are losing hope:  finding it more and more difficult to trust that all is not lost, that things will turn around, that better days are coming, that help is on the way, that the Lord is at their side, that all is in God's hands and that all things shall be well...

 

So for these friends, I'm posting this prayer - with the hope they'll make it their own 

and find in their faith the hope they need today...

When I'm lost in the dark, Lord,

    give me hope of a new day's dawn...

In the midst of my distress,
    give me hope for serenity... 

When I feel trapped in my past,

    give me hope for all that's ahead...

 

When sadness overwhelms me,

    give me hope for the peace you promise...

When I'm lost in my confusion,

    give me hope for understanding...

When I'm feeling all alone,

    give me hope for real companionship...

When I'm lost in doubt and fear,

    give me hope and trust in faith...

When I fear there's no one there,

    give me hope for someone's helping hand...

When I'm at my weakest point, Lord,

    give me hope for strength and courage...

 

When war and terror threaten

    give me  hope for peace around the world... 

When it seems there's simply no way out,

    give me grace to hope for hope...

And when I'm feeling hopeless 
    help me find my hope in you, Lord,

         the source of all and every hope...

 

Amen.

When this life of trials tests my faith 

I set my hope on Jesus 

When the questions come and doubts remain 

I set my hope on Jesus 

For the deepest wounds that time won’t heal 

There’s a joy that runs still deeper 

There’s a truth that’s more than all I feel 

I set my hope on Jesus   

 

I set my hope on Jesus 

My rock, my only trust 

Who set His heart upon me first 

I set my hope on Jesus 

 

Though I falter in this war with sin 

I set my hope on Jesus 

When I fail the fight and sink within 

I set my hope on Jesus 

Though the shame would drown me in its sea 

And I dread the waves of justice 

I will cast my life on Calvary 

I set my hope on Jesus  

 

Though the world call me to leave my Lord 

I set my hope on Jesus 

Though it offer all its vain rewards 

I set my hope on Jesus 

Though this heart of mine is prone to stray 

Give me grace enough to finish ’

Till I worship on that final day 

I set my hope on Jesus
