After finding the prayer by Christina Rossetti yesterday, I did just a bit of quick searching to see what other prayers she’d written. Here’s another keeper:
Prayer of Hope
O Lord, in Whom is our hope, remove far from us, we pray Thee, empty hopes and presumptuous confidence. Make our hearts so right with Thy most holy and loving heart, that hoping in Thee we may do good; until that day when faith and hope shall be abolished by sight and possession, and love shall be all in all.
- Christina G. Rossetti, 1830-1895
