April: Pray for hope.

SLIDE 4 OF 12

April, which is often when Easter happens, is a wonderful month to center your prayers on hope. In this fallen world, hope is possible because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and resurrection. Pray to be inspired with awe in fresh ways by what Jesus has done as the world’s Savior. The same power that resurrected Jesus can be active in your own life when you trust Jesus and rely on him for hope. So, pray something like the prayer in Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Pray for a hope that anchors your soul, so your faith won’t be shaken during any circumstances, no matter what (Hebrews 6:19). Ask God to reveal specific situations in your life (like a broken relationship or a health concern), where you need to apply the hope of the resurrection and trust God to bring something new to life. Praying for hope will help you experience God’s best for you in every way.

Hope

Just a small word.

But it has power when coupled with God.

It's biblically defined by the following:

Confident expectation rooted in trusting God's promises

The biblical definition of hope is characterized as a confident expectation rooted in trusting God's promises. It embodies the assurance of salvation and the belief in a better future through faith in God, as seen in verses like Romans 15:13 and Jeremiah 29:11. Unlike secular hope, which often relies on uncertain outcomes, biblical hope is anchored in the reliability of God's character and His covenantal commitments, providing believers with security and perseverance. Ultimately, it is described as an "anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:1

Sometimes we think we live in a hopeless world. But in this world, we do not have to be without it.

It is not in  the government.

Not in our careers.

Sometimes not even in many families.

Our only real source of hope,

comes from the God who created us.

Who gives us His hope.

Have hope for the whole year of 2026.

Because that in God, is our real sense of

joy.

Thanks for coming by today, Friends.

God bless you and yours!
