Lord, there are so many areas of my life that need your hope right now. As we prepare to open our gifts this Christmas, I pray that the one gift I receive this year is a renewed hope. I feel you tugging on my servant's heart again, like you did so many years ago. I feel a sense of hope beginning. Lord, please fill me up! Empty me of the depression, cynicism. And emotional roller coaster ride the I've been feeling and fill me with You. Fill me with Your love, Your peace, Your word, and most of all Your hope. Let it be to my children as I have asked for, too. Lord, grow in us so we may grow I. you. I'm not going to lie, Abba, even saying that out loud puts fear in my heart. So often the way to grow, the way to prune out the bad in our lives to let in the good, is through tragedy and hardship. Please, Lord, let that not be what is necessary. Rather let change spark a fire that reignites us. I know I ask for too much, but You know my thought. I'd rather confess them to You, than to just think them, like I'm hiding something. Your plan is best; I know that, and I trust in You for You know the plans You have for me and my family and they are plans to prosper us and to give us hope and a future. Amen.
