God of Hope

No matter what the situation it is good to remember that God is in control and though we might choose a different path it is also good to remember that the One we follow sees and knows far beyond what we are capable of. Therefore we must trust He is who He says He is and we are as valuable to Him as His Word says we are. Charlie Hall sings a song called “God of Hope” and the words keep going over and over in my mind… “Though You slay me I will hope. Hope inspires my endurance. Your hope is my anchor. God of hope fill me.”

Lord, give me strength for today and hope for tomorrow. Teach me to trust You more, for You are the only thing that matters. Though often pain and struggles surround me You inspire me to be like Your Son, Jesus. Through good and bad I pray that You will teach me to live with open hands so that I may offer my life a living sacrifice instead of holding tightly to things that do not belong to me. God of hope, fill me!
