Joy, Hope and Peace

Christ is Our Hope

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). 

God is the source of eternal hope, life, and salvation, and he is the object of hope for every believer by the power of the Holy Spirit. Take heart dear friend. Whatever situation you are finding yourself in, let the God of hope, through the Holy Spirit, fill you with joy and peace as you trust in him. Romans 5:3-4 states: we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Lord, I come to you with a humble heart with praise on my lips for the grace you have poured out on me. Thank you for Jesus Christ who is my hope. Forgive me where I have sinned and fallen short of your glory. I pray for those around me who are experiencing great troubles. May you fill. their hearts with your joy, with your peace, with your hope, and with the comfort that can only come from you. Wrap them with your strength and encouragement. Let us hide under your protection. Cover us with your hand. Thank you for loving us. We fall on our knees in worship to the One true God. The Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, creator of the universe and all that is in it. It is in Jesus name I pray, amen.
