Scripture
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. —Psalm 31:24

Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired. —Erik Erikson, Insight and Responsibility

Prayer
Take my woundedness and carry me to the threshold of hope. Amen. —The Reverend Dr. Katie Snipes Lancaster
