Dear Lord, hear our prayer:

Most Glorious Father, Creator of all, I come to You with praise and honor recognizing that You alone are holy and just, deserving of all our praise and thanksgiving. Father, we live in a world that has grown in hopelessness, with so many living needlessly in despair and anguish. We know that the source of hope is found in You through our Redeemer and Savior Jesus Christ. Father, we are weak and often times unworthy vessels, but our hope is in You! Because we acknowledge and recognize that truth, let Your Holy Spirit empower us, wherever we are, to be the reflection and light of Jesus so that those who are close to shipwreck in hopelessness will see the truth and yearn for the hope we have. Anoint Your children with wisdom, boldness and power to light the way to Jesus Christ that hope might be restored to those walking in brokenness. We ask this sincerely, yet fervently in the name of our King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.

Amen and AMEN.
