Here in the USA, today is the National Day of Prayer. This year’s theme focuses on hope:
Romans 15:13 (ESV)
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Let us pray —
God of hope, fill us with all joy and peace in believing, so that we will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit …
We pour out our hearts for our nation, for the people and places, relationships and responsibilities the Lord has established: the Church, Family, Education, Business, Military, Arts, Entertainment, Media, and Government. May all who live, serve, and steward in these be filled with Your purpose, wisdom, strength, and truth …
In abounding hope, anchored by our hope in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen!
(Prayer from the National Day of Prayer website. Read the whole prayer for yourself here)
