Lord, I give You everything I would do differently if I could do it all over again, and I give You the fact that I can’t.  I can’t do it all over again.  So, I give You what is, what isn’t, and what will never be.  I give You what is to come.  Thank You that hope is a reality not limited by my circumstances or deterred by my choices.  The hope I have in You is an anchor for my soul – sure, firm, immovable.  (Hebrews 6:19)

So, I choose to move forward in hope.  I choose to live for You, not an ideal set of circumstances.  I choose You.  And I’ll choose you again and again.

“My choice is you, God, first and only…. Now you’ve got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face.  Ever since you took my hand, I’m on the right way.” Psalm 16:5, 11 MSG

You are my hope.  Thank you for the resolute, renewing, life-giving hope that is only found in You.  May I overflow with hope.
