A Year Full of Hope: Day 228

Day 228 - Prayer

At the end of church my pastor prayed a prayer that said something along these lines.

Lord, please help me take the focus off of myself and see the people around me who need my love every day.

Imagine if we started every single day with that prayer. What a great reminder that's it's not about us, it's about loving others. That each day's goal should be to love the people around you. Just another reminder to, "Let love be your highest goal."

That prayer is now written next to my computer for me to see every morning.

HOPE (v) - to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence. To place trust; rely.

This blog details 2012 and my life centered in hope after an arduous year. We all need hope in our lives; to believe that life can and will get better. But, we need the kind of hope that is not just wishful thinking; we need the kind of hope that is based in faith. The kind of hope centered around the blessings that God promises us in His Word. The kind of hope that puts who we are and where we want to go in perspective. The kind of hope that allows us to live a more joyful and spirit filled life, because we expect things to happen, we don't just wish for them. My hope is that my journey can inspire your journey.
