Father,

We come to You today with a glowing ember of hope in our hearts. Although the shifts and clashes of the world clang out and the dark is still gnashing its teeth, we have the glowing fire of righteousness within us that no darkness can squelch. No matter what, You are within us and You will never abandon us. We have seen that You are the spark within us and it will never be eliminated. Our Souls remain intact, and our Spirit rises. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2Corinthians 4:18)

Rise in us, Lord. Be our strength, always greater, always rising above. Protect the light within and should we falter, never let us fail. Lift us up, band us together and pave the way. “For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison.” (2Corinthians 4:17)

Our humblest gratitude that You make it possible that our inner self is being renewed every day, Father. That You constantly provide a manna of Love and beauty that feeds us from the inside-out. Thank you Father, for working miracles in our world that increase our hope and faith. Selah.
