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
You are the God of hope.
In a world often downhearted and filled with despair, You remind me that hope is never scarce.
When I look at my circumstances with weary hesitation, I remember that hope in You is offered in abundance.
You are Living Hope—
hope personified.
Even when it seems as if darkness is winning,
or when I stumble or fall,
or when I am facing suffering, pain, trials, or persecution,
I must never give up on You.
No matter how bleak my things may seem, I must cling to the fabric of your garment.
Because You are a sun and shield;
You bestow favor and honor;
and no good thing do You withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
So, I pray that I will rejoice in hope,
be patient in tribulation,
and be constant in prayer.
I choose to believe that when You say You will do something, it will surely come.
Not because of anything I have done
but because of how good You are.
I trade in my cynicism for the highest expectations, trusting that You can do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, according to Your power that is at work within me.
