While the news from all over the world presses in with
so much suffering, sickness, and war,
it becomes impossible to end
the litany of prayer.
At the end of World War 11 words which have come to be known as
Inscription of Hope
were found scratched onto a cellar wall in Cologne, Germany,
by an unknown Jew in hiding from the holocaust.
May the same vision of hope, and strength of heart,
be with all who seek peace at this time.
Inscription of Hope
I believe in the sun,
Even when it is not shining.
And I believe in love,
Even when there’s no one there.
And I believe in God,
Even when He is silent.
I believe though any trial,
There is always a way.
But sometimes in the suffering,
And hopeless despair.
My heart cries for shelter,
To know someone’s there.
But a voice rises within me,
Saying hold on my child.
I’ll give you strength I’ll give you hope,
Just stay a little while.
I believe in the sun, (Ooooo)
Even when it is not shining. (Ooooo)
And I believe in love, (Ooooo)
Even when there’s no one there. (Ooooo)
But I believe in God,
Even when He is silent.
I believe through any trial,
There is always a way.

When I read your post with those powerful words, I thought of Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to be able to read your posts!
Thank You Lynda.
ReplyDeleteWhen i titled this post i was thinking of the text about having hope as our anchor Heb. 6:i9 God's Promise is Certain
18…so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, 20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. - so we were both in the same book!
For myself I find holding out hope as I pray for deeply troubled people and places is an integral part of intercession, and i wanted to express something of that, though I feel so inadequate in doing so.
