Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year Quotes

“My father was not always there, yet he kept eagerly aware of my rehearsals and my plays, of struggles and my winning days. My father often could not stay to hear me sing or watch me play, but it was his hard-working hands that paid my dues for sports and band. My father was not always near, so he would call to lift and cheer. He listened while I spoke my mind. He gave advice both wise and kind. And on those days when work was thru, my father rushed straight home to view my soccer game or concert show. I treasured those days most, you know.”

“Dear Father in Heaven, I thank thee this day for blessings and mercies thou sendest my way. I thank thee for comfort ‘mid thunderous storms. I cling to thy good word when life feels forlorn. I ask for enough strength to bear life’s assaults. I pray thou wilt forgive my weakness and faults. Dear Father in Heaven, be mindful of all. Please teach us to follow thy counsel and call. And when life has taught us to love and to give, I pray, Heavenly Father, with thee we might live.”

“I hoped for a rose and got lilies. I hoped for the sun and got rain. I hoped for a cat and got puppies. I hoped for Brazil and got Spain. I hoped for a raise and got transferred. I hoped for northwest and got south. I hoped for ice cream and got yogurt. I hoped for a kiss on the mouth. I hoped for more time and got late fees. I hoped for a cruise, got a flight. I hoped for Poseidon, got Hades. I hoped for long days over nights. You may wonder why I keep hoping, As fruitless as it seems to be. But hope is a bow, not an arrow. Its release depends much upon me.”

“Hope is to fly with wings. It is a sword against the unpredictable, A bridge that traverses despairs. Hope is to leap with springs. It is a helmet to guard the vulnerable, A barge that floats o’er anxious cares. Hope is to spar with kings. It is a shield against the uncontrollable, A hedge that fences in nightmares.”

“Love is my heart swelling at the thought of you, a smile produced by your image. Love is my hand reaching to take hold of yours, a bond secured by your promise. Love is my soul choosing to be one with you, a life enhanced by your presence.”

“May I have a piece of peace? Or a portion of your calm? May I borrow restful quiet? Or a moment without qualm? May I share in your tranquility? I feel I’ve no recourse. Oh, my friend, for inner peace, God is the only source.”
