Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT
To hope means to desire and look forward to something with confidence and expectation. Hope is what keeps us going! As one of the three essential virtues for our spiritual well-being, it is developed in us through faith and understanding of God’s love and grace toward us. The hope that we have as Christians is a longing and expectation for God to fulfill His promises to us. Today, we pray that Ember would have that hope in her life.
Dear Father, our hope is in You! We know that You hold our future and we are waiting expectantly for You to work out Your plans in our life. We know that the You have good things in store for us. We have hope that You are working all things out for our good and Your glory. God, help us to convey that hope to our daughter...help her to feel it. We pray that Ember would have a heart that longs for You and expects You to do a work in her life. Lord, we know that the opposite of hope is despair, and we pray against any feelings of despair in our daughter's life. May she know that her future will always be bright if she keeps her eyes on You. This we pray as we wait with expectancy for the birth of our precious daughter, Ember Faith.
Lord we look to you... you're where our hope comes from x
