The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You are the God of hope. You said that, as I believe, You would fill me with joy and peace until I overflow with hope. I don't always feel filled. But I don't have to feel it before I trust You. Trust comes first. Filling comes second. So today, help me trust You a little more than yesterday. Just a little. That's enough for the overflow to start. I'm taking one step of trust right now, even when I don't feel it, and I'm watching what You do. Amen.
