Fear Not
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.

Waiting with Hope
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.—Romans 8:25 (NIV)
Do you wait hopefully? The pauses in life—the waiting periods—can be grueling and difficult. But you can learn to wait with hope, to wait with your faith firmly rooted in God’s promises. By developing a strong prayer life, you begin to recognize that life’s low points serve an important purpose: The waiting strengthens your relationship with God.
God of hope, help me to be patient. Stretch my faith as I wait.
