Hope that Does Not Disappoint

"Hope does not put us to shame."

— Romans 5:5

God of hope,

Christian hope is never disappointed. Even when everything seems dark, light always triumphs in the end. This is the message of Christmas.

Thank You for this invincible hope. For this certainty that You are coming, that You have already come, that You will come again. Christian hope is anchored in You.

May I keep hope in my own difficulties. The light will return, it always returns. Christmas is approaching.

Amen.

Reflection

How does this Christian hope resonate with your own life? Where do you see signs of hope?

For all those who need hope.
