God, The Source of Hope

 

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

—Romans 15:13 (NLT)

 

Gracious and Loving God,

Be my source of hope—and fill me completely with the joy and peace that comes when I put all of my trust in You.  By the power of Your Holy Spirit, cause that confident hope to overflow from deep within me—for Your glory, honor, and praise.

Let me forever place my hope in You.  May my continuing experience of Your patient goodness, loving kindness, and enduring faithfulness to me, give me cause to trust in You more and more—with every moment that passes.

And as I learn to trust You more completely, and give my every hurt and worry to You, fill me completely with Your joy and peace—so I am no longer disheartened or dismayed, no matter what circumstances I may face.

By the power of Your Holy Spirit at work within me, cause that confident hope that is mine, to overflow out of me to bless all those around me—as a testimony to Your great mercy, grace and love for us all.

Be my source of hope—and fill me completely with the joy and peace that comes when I put all of my trust in You.  By the power of Your Holy Spirit, cause that confident hope to overflow from deep within me—for Your glory, honor, and praise.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
