Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 NKJV)
Abba, Most High God, our Father and King, You are the only God worthy of our praises and worship. All people should believe only You. Dear God, we completely understand that as Your disciples, we will go through countless trials and hardships for Your name’s sake. We have accepted that fate since the day we accepted and proclaimed You as our God and Savior. However, at times, we tend to think of turning away from You because of our weaknesses. For that, we are very sorry and we ask for Your forgiveness. Please fill us with hope in Your glorious promises. When things around us become too much to bear, may we not focus our minds and hearts on them, rather on the reward waiting for us at the end of our journey. Lord, please help us see things unseen where we must set our hearts on. May the temporary difficulties we suffer be insufficient for us to forget the glory You have prepared for those who will overcome all trials. Knowing You will be with us from the beginning until the end gives us peace and joy. For if You are with us, nothing can stand against us. We believe You hear this prayer of Your beloved children. Amen.
