Dear God,

I come to you today with a heart full of gratitude. I thank you for your love, your mercy, and your grace. I thank you for choosing me to be your child.

I also come to you today with a heart full of hope. I know that you are with me, even in the darkest of times. I know that you will never leave me or forsake me.

I pray that you would fill me with your hope today. I pray that you would help me to see the good in the world, even when it is hard. I pray that you would give me the strength to overcome my fears and doubts.

I pray that you would use me to bring hope to others. I pray that you would give me the words to speak and the actions to take that will bring hope to those who are lost and hurting.

I know that the world is a broken place, but I also know that you are working to redeem it. I pray that you would hasten your coming, and that you would bring your kingdom to earth.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
