Dear Lord Jesus,
You are not a far off, impersonal god unconcerned and unfamiliar with our seasons of suffering, or the worries of our daily lives. Thank you for being a savior that cares about our physical and spiritual condition. Give us a spirit of humility as we rely on your Holy Spirit to cultivate hope within us. May this hope result in praise and honor to you, and a desire to share this hope with others. As we await your return, may we continue to put our hope in you, following you faithfully no matter our earthly circumstances.
Amen.
