Have you ever stopped in your day to offer a prayer for hope?
Perhaps there was a time in your life when you felt like all hope was gone. Maybe that was a long time ago. Or maybe that’s the season you find yourself in now, right here in this moment.
Wherever you are today, I invite you to join me in this prayer. It’s a prayer for hope that I desperately need and perhaps you do too. Feel free to pin it to come back to again and again when you need a little extra hope.
Prayer for Hope
Father, today I lift you up as the God and creator of the very universe.
I am in awe of the works of your hands and the way you set everything in place.
The heavens declare the wonder of you. I am humbled that you would even take notice of me. Yet you do.
Father, I know that I don’t deserve your goodness, still you continue to lavish us with good things every single day.
Today, my hope lies in you, dear God. Today even as hope fades I look to you.
You alone, oh God are the one who can restore my hope today.
Father, I remember that you promise in Jeremiah 29:11-13 to give us hope and a future when we turn to you.
So today I turn to you God because I need you desperately.
I need to be restored by the hope that only you can give.
When my heart grows faint, as it does now, I pray to always run to you as my rock.
Come quickly to rescue, please Father because I trust in you.
May I remember you as Emmanuel – God with us; God with me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
What about you?
Are you feeling weak and burdened? Is your hope overshadowed by the problems you are facing? Only God can lift those burdens. Won’t you turn to Him today?
Take some time to remember who you are in Christ and allow Him to be your hope!

Marva, I was before you and after you at the #RaRaLinkup today. We’re on the same wave length 🙂 Your two posts (one by Lori on your page) and my post all talk about HOPE! I think God is trying to speak something here! I love your open, honest prayer for HOPE. Have a blessed day!
Sherry, I’m so glad you stopped by to join in this message of Hope. I too, was amazed when I read yours this morning. I’m adding the link here so that others might be encouraged too.

Yay for #MomentsofHope, Julie! 🙂
Thanks for hopping over and encouraging me today. God’s hope is amazing!
Beautiful prayer, Marva! God is our Hope when we have nothing left to give.
Amen for that, Sarah. That’s the hope that I hold on to.
Thanks for taking the time to remind me of that.
I am echoing this prayer with you, Marva, and believing in not only the God who is always with us, but the God of miracles. Thank you for this prayer. And thank you for being testimony to the hope we have in Christ. Love you ♥

Lori, I’m so glad I get to call you my IRL (in real life) friend. 🙂
I’m holding on to hope and believing in our God of miracles. I know that even if He doesn’t work a miracle this time around, His goodness doesn’t change.
I’m praying this prayer with you today, Marva. God is so good.
Amen, Dawn. I pray every day to remember God’s goodness, especially in the trying times. I really appreciate your prayers!
I am seeking Gods mighty powerful hand to remove the suffering that has crashed in our lives. I am seeking wise counsel yet I know bc I am in the middle of a family matter I am collateral damage and only Jesus can fight this. Exodus 14:14. God so far has not shown any movement of this resolving. I am heart broken. I need prayer
Jeanie, my heart hurts for you. Please know that I am praying for you that God may rush in and restore what was lost. He is never far from the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). May you hold on to His promises today. Bless you.
