A Prayer for Hope-A Rainbow Sky

Prayer for Hope: Rainbow SKy

We see so much sorrow, devastation and loss; sometimes, we ask, “Where is God?”  He is on His Throne.  Beyond that, He looks down with love, knowing that our hearts cannot rest until we rest in Him.  Steadying His hands of justice, He waits; longing for us to call out to Him.

Psalm 107:24-31

 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

A Prayer for Hope

By Effie Darlene Barba

 

I heard the cries of the forlorn

The devastation, loss we mourn

While others filled with so much hate

Spewing words, they do berate

They try to say You do not care

Or that You are unjust, unfair

 

Yet, Lord you reign with Sovereignty

Your justice, righteous clarity

And yet you temper it with Grace

That men might turn and seek Your Face

Open our eyes that we might see

The price You paid to set men free

 

Oh, Lord, repentant here I stand

How oft I failed Your dear command

To love You first above all things

To raise my voice in praise that sings

Of all Your love and grace toward me

My heart should shout in jubilee

 

I pray, Dear Lord, for this our land

That we would join now hand in hand

To lift in prayer as one single voice

Proclaiming that we’ve made the choice

To sing Your praise from sea to sea

And thank you for our liberty

 

And when the floods and storms arise

Let us dear Lord, look to the skies

Where there we see Your dear rainbow

A sign of hope to us below

Your covenant is always true

The skies once more will soon be blue
