A Prayer—For this Living Hope

I will forever praise you, the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ! For In your great mercy O God, you have given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

In your great mercy you have given us an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade; in your great mercy you have kept our salvation tucked away in heaven for all those who, through faith, are shielded by your great power.

In this salvation Lord God, I greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, we may have to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. I praise you Lord, even in these storms; for they have come so that my faith—of greater worth than gold,—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

So I pray Lord that you make my faith genuine through these trials as you have promised; make my faith one of sincere and devoted love for you; love for Christ; love for our neighbor; love for the family of believers.

As you have written Lord “Be holy, because I am holy.” Therefore as obedient children make us holy in all that we do Lord, and in all that we are.

I praise you Lord and I thank you.

In Christ Name I Pray
Amen
