When life feels heavy and despair starts to settle in, hope can seem far away. But in Christ, hope is never lost. Today’s prayer invites you to release the weight of discouragement and cling to the hope that God offers—a hope that doesn’t disappoint. Inspired by Romans 15:13 — “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — this prayer is for anyone struggling to see light at the end of the tunnel. You're not alone, and you’re not without hope. Let this prayer be a breath of fresh faith in your soul.
