A Prayer of Hope for the Economy

Miracles Today
Image by Loci Lenar via Flickr

Father God, times are hard they say

Many people will lose their jobs.

No one can tell how long this crisis shall last.

No assurance can be given

to all who grope in the dark.

But I believe, dear Father

that this too, shall pass,

and there is no trial we cannot be able to conquer

with faith in our spirits

and courage in our hearts.

Protect us dear God

first of all from despair.

Let not our minds be anxious

but let our spirits have peace

that surpasses all understanding.

May we never lose our hope.

May we never lose sight of our awaited morning

when milk and honey

shall flow into our land once again.

May we walk with steadfast feet.

May we work with steady hands.

And may we always believe

that miracles still happen,

for they do happen

even now as we pray.

Let your abounding Grace cloak us with blessings

and may your strength

keep us from every harm.

Vanquish the fears that wishes only

to cast doubt and hopelessness.

Replace it with a love that never fails,

a love that heals and prevails,

a love to keep us warm

as we hold on to each other

and as we await the abundant land

which You have promised us

with you kind

and mighty Hand!

Hi Jocelyn, this is truly beautiful. I believe there is always a sunny day after a storm.

Dear Thuto Gabanakgosi,

Thank you for writing and sharing your concerns right now. I pray that God may help you and show you the way to overcome the difficulties you’re going through. I am certain that God wouldn’t allow us to be tested beyond our capabilities. If this burden has been given to you, it is because God trusts you have the strength to bear it, and if not, He will give you the power to find your way. Dark times tests us, but they also build in us something more beautiful, and that is the light within us that is lit amidst all darkness, hopeful that there will always be an end to any problem or pain we’re going through.

Life is more important than many of our current concerns. As long as we are alive, we have hope, things could still happen, things could change in our favor, all in God’s perfect timing. Let us await this therefore and never ever lose hope! God bless you. πŸ˜‰

With Love,
JOYCE
