Nothing too good to be hoped for ...

Does your load ever seem heavy?
Does your pain seem unbearable?
Or your stress seem unmanageable?
Then pray this prayer:


A Prayer of Hope

Lesslie Newbigin

O Christ, King and Lord of all,
teach me to know that with you
nothing is too bad to be cured;
nothing too good to be hoped for;
nothing too hard to be attempted;
and nothing so precious that it cannot
be surrendered for your sake;
who lives and reigns
with the Father
in the Unity of Spirit
for ever and ever.

May God kindle hope in our hearts,

Ron
