Renewed Day by Day

Father, thank You for the glimmers of hope You offer…

Thank You for providing strength and breath for next steps.

Thank You for not leaving Naomi miserable, disillusioned, and broken. You are the God of endings and beginnings. You are the God who reminds us to keep trusting You even when life is hard and trust is difficult to find.

Thank You for reminding us You can renew our harvest after seasons of drought, famine, hunger, and death.

Thank You for reminding us You can send new and different blessings in place of blessings now departed.

You are able to make the bitter pleasant again as time passes and circumstances change.

Father, I pray for those needing tangible hope right now. I would seek employment for the jobless, open doors for the discouraged, and relationships for the lonely.

Father, we know our greatest hope and peace is found in perfect harmony with You.

Our joy in You will have its fullest expression in eternity where we will be able to praise You without hindrance or impediment.

Lord, we are not home yet…give us patience while we are waiting.

Thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit who comforts, instructs, and abides forever.

Whereas the Israelites possessed a Hope expectant…we possess a Hope both realized and a Hope returning.

 “You love Him even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see Him now, you trust Him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy." (1 Peter 1:8).

Thank You for setting us free to worship You. Thank You most sincerely for being our Living Hope.

We look forward to seeing you because we know that in our time of meeting our joy will be even fuller than we can possible imagine on this ordinary day!

Praise Your Name!
