Alive: Know who to run to

As we look around at our world right now, there is so much that can cause our hearts to be overwhelmed with sorrow.

In today’s reading, the word “hope” is “qavah” in Hebrew. It means to expect and to eagerly long for. This waiting on the Lord isn't a passive waiting, it's active and full of faith that God can move.

The prophet Isaiah was a man who knew hardship and difficulty, but he also knew what it meant to run to and wait on the Lord. So no matter the situation, let's take this invitation to eagerly and expectantly look to Him.

Prayer:

Father,

We come to You honestly with all that is difficult, broken and hard in the world around us. May it not drive us away from You but towards You. We look eagerly towards You to move, to heal our land and to restore. Amen.
