August Prayer Prompts
| Week 1 | Hope lets us literally see the presence and action of the holy in our everyday lives. This is not an imaginary desire viewed through rose coloured glasses. It is the solid evidence of the power of love made visible in abundance.
(Steven Charlston) |
| Week 2 | Hope is a quality of aliveness. It does not come at the end, as the feeling that results from a happy outcome. Rather it lies at the beginning, as a pulse of truth that sends us forth.
(Cynthia Bourgeault) |
| Week 3 | Hope is the language of the invisible. It transcends circumstances because it transcends physicality. It’s spiritual. It’s the language of the invisible realm, which is just as real, if not more so, than the things we can see and touch.
(Jon Batiste) |
| Week 4 | Hope is a participation in the very life of God. It has nothing to do with circumstances or events going well. It can even thrive in the midst of adversity and trial.
(Richard Rohr) |
