You know, the other day I was asked did I actually live on “a hope and a prayer”. I know when this was asked, I probably looked at that person like… “What and you don’t?!” Ha! I know in the real world that living on a hope and prayer isn’t the most logical way to look at things. However, working by way of God’s mission a hope and a prayer seem to be the most logical way of thinking.

I feel that my daily prayers, which can last on and off all day long, are my anchor. This anchor leads to the hope that strengthens the faith I have in God. In addition, this faith is what gets me through and makes me push through when the real world weighs down on my heart and mind. Especially the days I feel like I’m not enough, exhausted, overwhelmed, ridiculously crazy, or out of my mind, I have to grasp that notion of hope through prayer. This keeps me grounded in order to not bow down to fear and give up; rather, I stay steady, safe and secure. You know, Hebrews 6:19 says “We have this hope as an anchor for our lives. Safe and Secure”. I have great joy knowing that I am safe and secure with Jesus when I continue to reach for hope through prayer. Sometimes a hope and a prayer are all we have…

Do you live on a hope and a prayer, friends? If you do, what are those hopes and prayers?
