Hope Prayer


Heavenly Father, we pray for Your indwelling Spirit,
Only in You do we find the safety we seek,
Prevail over all the strife and hardship we pray,
Every fear will vanish in Your presence.

Polarized, the peoples descend into bitterness,
Earthly solutions fail, we blindly wander,
After shock and anger, regret and sorrow, still
Countless questions emerge and remain unanswered,
Each heart crying for its unfulfilled solace

Light in the darkness, reveal Yourself, we pray
Only You are our hope and eternal song,
Vast eons of time pass, yet You are unchanging
Ever waiting for those who call upon Your name.

For every voice that cries Your name
All are welcomed into Your kingdom
In repentance and faith we look to you
To all who believe in Jesus Christ
He will never turn away.

Have mercy upon this sinful world we pray,
Open your arms to the grieving and the fearful,
Presence of God, promise of joy unceasing,
Eternal God, we place our hope in You.
