Prayer for Hope

Lord Jesus, while I pray with hope in life eternal, I ask for the grace to bring hope in this world, wherever I can.

Where there is violence, I hope for peace.

Where people are suffering the aftermath of storms, I hope for calmness in weather and in hearts.

For all who are suffering the loss of a loved one, of a job, of health, or any loss, please lead them to renewed hope found through Your love and grace.

Amen.
