A Night of Hope

May 13, 2011

Shout to the Lord
All the Earth, let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work
Of Your hands
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares
To the promise I have
In You
          Darlene Zschech


We bought tickets to go see Joel Osteen at the
Sports Arena in San Diego.

A Night of Hope events are filled with praise and worship music, encouragment from Victoria Osteen, a special testimony from Dodie Osteen, a prayer time together and an inspiring message from Joel Osteen.

There were over 14,000 people there and his message was one of hope and optimism.  I know some people have a problem with his ministry, but there is nothing wrong with hope and optimism.  This world could use both right now.

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
To see You high and lifted up
Shinin' in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy

There's so much trying to pull us down today," Joel said. "Our message is all about lifting people's spirits and letting them know that God is in control."


"Prosperity comes from inside," Victoria said. "It's not about what you have, it's really about your joy, your peace, the things you have on the inside. You can go through tough times and still have a smile on your face. We're all going to face challenges, we might as well get up and get after it."

When you take God at His word, and really meditate on His love for you, it will change you!

Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
For the Father above, He is listening with love
And He wants to answer us, so let us pray
