Prayer for Thursday 8-18-2022

Thank You, great God and Father, for filling our hearts with trust so that we are of good hope, but also for those who have not yet found the way to trust. Thank You for giving us courage to face all the questions that arise in human life and for accepting us again and again when we come to You in our weaknesses. You know what lies before us. You know the mountains that have to be moved. You know all the things that frustrate us and try to wear us out, and yet You will always take them away or move us through them. At last Your light will shine into all the darkness. This certainty fills us with gladness and thanksgiving. In this faith we are determined to remain steadfast and to press on to victory. Forever in Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.
