A Prayer for Hope:
God of hope,
We praise you because we are an Easter people. We stand on resurrection ground.
This message, the message of the gospel, gives us endless hope.
We pray for our leaders, that they will lead with confidence in this truth and hold on to the hope that can only be found in you.
Hope that cultivates courage and inspires boldness.
Hope that fuels persistence to find solutions to the most difficult problems.
Hope that looks expectantly to see what you will do next.
Hope that holds all things in perspective.
Lord, help us all to fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.
Thank you for the freedom that is ours because of Jesus, our Living Hope.
AMEN
Reflection: In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis wrote:
"a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not... a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do."
Are you living in a way that draws people to goodness, to hope, to Jesus?

About this Plan
![Praying for Leaders](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimageproxy.youversionapi.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fyvplans%2F45461%2F1280x720.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
From Scripture, it is clear that we are to honour, show respect and love for our leaders, and never stop praying. In these days where significant global challenges are impacting the Church, our leaders need our focused, intentional prayer as they lead. For fourteen days, we look to Scripture and pray intentionally for those who lead in our church, each day focusing on a different aspect of leadership.
