prayer from despair

From the blog/email devotional "843 Acres: The End of Fatalism":

Fatalism: One of the worst feelings in life is fatalism-that is, the feeling of resignation that this is the way things will be forever and nothing will change. That this is the way that I am or my spouse is or my kids are or work is or our government is or our society is. That I am powerless to do anything about it. That it will go on this way forever and, most likely, it will just get worse.

Prayer: Lord, You are near and strong and interested in the affairs of this world and in the progress and mission of your redemption. You continue to change us and make us into your image to reflect the glory of your name. Today, remind us - especially those of us who struggle with hopeless despair - that you are full of surprises for churches, nations, families and individuals. Give us expectant hearts about our futures and increase our faith in your freedom and sovereignty. Amen.
