Hopelessness

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us throughout the day from feelings of hopelessness and depression that can come on us like ravenous beasts if we let our thoughts travel the paths of negativity. Please may the Holy Spirit lead us on paths of positive hope, where memories can remind us of blessings in the past and hope for the future if we but let go and let God have control. Please let the power of the Word of God, and the beauty of His creation, be absorbed into our minds and overcome the hopelessness generated in this lustful world where temptation for material wealth is facing us at every turn if we are not traveling a path of seeking the Kingdom of God. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
