Hear My Prayers O' Lord

THANK YOU FOR HOPE I thank you, God, for the hope that bursts upon me as sunshine cuts through the overcast sky. I thank you for meaningful work that serves your people and renews my confidence. I thank you for wisdom that enables me to see how all the fragments of life come together to make creation whole. I thank you for faith that steadies me when I am buffeted by the storms of life. I thank you for your love that comes to me, and overcomes the fear and hostility that would take control of my life.
