Prayer for Hope
Prayers for hope can provide comfort and strength during difficult times, and can help us hold onto faith that things will eventually get better. Whether we are facing personal challenges or challenges on a larger scale, the power of prayer can help us find the hope and resilience we need to keep moving forward in life. In these prayers for hope, we ask for guidance, strength, and the courage to keep moving forward, even when things seem uncertain or bleak. May these prayers bring you peace and help you hold onto hope in even the toughest of times.
We will print and place your prayer request on the Stone of Anointing; the place where Christ’ body was laid down after being removed from the crucifix and prepared for burial.
