Blessed Hope

Hope turns on the lights of fresh new perspective. It rekindles the fires of dying embers.

It strengthens the spirit and enables one to see clearly.

It lifts one up into positive position and enables forward movement.

It restores vitality and brings joy.

Lord, strengthen me to cling tightly to that hope which You give. Help me to stay intently focused in You, irregardless of the onslaught and intent of the enemy which would rob away or divert my attention from Your purpose for me. Strengthen me to adamantly refuse seeds of negativity or fear. Amen.

"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."
Psalm 31:24 KJV
