LEND ME YOUR HOPE
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit (Romans 15:13).
Lend me your hope for awhile, I seem to have mislaid mine.
Lost and hopeless feelings accompany me daily, pain and confusion
are my companions.
I know not where to turn; looking ahead to future times does not
bring forth images of renewed hope.
I see troubled times, pain-filled days, and more tragedy.
Lend me your hope for awhile, I seem to have mislaid mine.
Hold my hand and hug me; listen to all my ramblings, recovery
seems so far distant.
The road to healing seems like a long and lonely one.
Lend me your hope for awhile, I seem to have mislaid mine.
Stand by me, offer me your presence, your heart and your love.
Acknowledge my pain, it is so real and ever present.
I am overwhelmed with sad and conflicting thoughts.
Lend me your hope for awhile; a time will come when I will heal,
and I will share my renewal, hope, and love with others (adapted
from the poem "Lend Me Your Hope," author unknown).
The apostle Paul gives us the biblical basis for our comfort and
hope: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in
all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who
are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves
are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are
ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through
Christ" (2 Corinthians 1:3-5).
I praise You for hope, Lord. Help me be a source of hope in all
my relationships and circumstances today.
