Day 16 — {FMF} — pray
Loving Father,
Thank you that you know all things — nothing escapes you — not even when a strand of hair falls off my head (and lately that’s been happening too often). You hold the universe and our world in your hands — and you hold me.
But I forget — almost just as soon as I walk out the front door.
There is so much going on in the world that I don’t understand and I feel confused and maybe even lost at times. I scan the headlines and it seems like evil is winning. I feel small and helpless and the darkness overwhelms me as I wonder what kind of a future awaits me, my children.
Hosanna!
It’s my cry for help. Hosanna — Lord save us!
Hosanna!
Most of the songs I know which use the word are upbeat — is it because you’ve already provided the answer?
We cry out, “Hosanna!”
And you said,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son.”
You’ve answered every person who’s cried out to you. Yes, I am but a speck in this dark world but because you gave your only Son, I have life — eternal life. And I declare my praise to you — Hosanna! You have overcome the darkness.
So today when I walk out that front door, help me to remember that your light which shines in me overcomes the deepest darkness of this world. We will not be here forever — you promised you’d come back.
And on that day and until then, we cry out,
Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!
