Hope for the hopeless

Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them. ~ Psalm 10:17 (NLT)

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. ~ Romans 15:13 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
God is the only source of the kind of hope we truly need.
PRAYER:
Gracious God, better than anyone you know the desires of the helpless and vulnerable; for you became one of us. I confess to believing the silly idea that my problems are totally unique and greater than you could understand. Shame on me! Fill me with fresh insight into the work of Jesus and the great suffering he endured to grant us hope. I am going to trust him so that hope oozes from every poure of my being. Amen.
