Prayers for Hope

Inspirational Prayers

for Hope

We may feel attacked, hindered, and restrained;

We may feel discouraged, depressed, and defeated

But

Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:10 KJV,

"Be STRONG in the Lord

and

in the Power of his Might."

Then Paul gives us secrets

to winning our battles

by explaining the

Supernatural pieces of Armor

that we need to wear every day.

I encourage you to stand up

and

put on those pieces of armor

afresh and anew.

Prayers for Hope
continued

Dear Heavenly Father,

I am facing a situation that appears hopeless.

Emotions like disappointment, confusion, and depression want to attach themselves to me.

Reach out to me and bring me thoughts of a good future. I will welcome them.

Lord, show me new possibilities.

Help me to more clearly see my gifts and talents. Help me to more clearly see the good things in my life.

Father God, help me to believe
that I am precious and valuable to you. 

Thank you that you have reminded me that I was born for a great purpose.

I will choose to believe that you are bringing hope into my heart this day, so that I will have more hope tonight when I go to bed than when I got up this morning.

Father God, I will realize that hope has a name:

Jesus.

Amen!
