Heavenly Father—hope, joy, and peace… grant us a copious measure of each this week. You intend much more than just okay-ness for us.

 

Supersize our hope.

  • The heart-settling hope of knowing the war in Ukraine isn’t ultimate or forever, but our earth filled with your glory is.
  • Make the hope of the Gospel so palpably real to us, we will suffer with courage and love with abandon.
  • The blessed hope that Jesus could return today, but will return on the perfect day.

 

Refuel our joy.

  • The joy of knowing you are with us and for us, and that nothing can separate us from your love.
  • The joy of knowing you love us as much as you love Jesus, for you’ve clothed us in his righteousness and have hidden our lives in his
  • The joy of experiencing your grace in our weakness, and your mercy in our messes.

 

Center us with your peace.

  • Peace that isn’t limited to our understanding, and doesn’t require circumstances or people to change.
  • The peace of knowing you are at work in the lives of our kids, the politics of the nations; and that, however you answer our prayers, it’s always right
  • The fear-shrinking peace of remembering history is still your story, and that you are totally sovereign over every cricket, curve ball, crucible, and crisis. So Very Amen.
