Romans 15:13 (Nlt)
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.
I think we'd all like to be filled with joy and peace and Paul tells us here that God will do that for us as we continue to trust and believe in Him. The good news is we don't have to conjure it all up by sheer grim determination or will power, but it's the power of the Holy Spirit inside us that will give us that kind of confident hope that will bring the joy and peace. He is at work in us all the time.
So if you've not been feeling very joyful lately will you join with me today and turn this verse into a prayer and maybe it would help us to pray it (or one like it) before we begin each day. 😊
Thank you Lord You are the source of my hope, and I ask You to fill me completely with Your joy and peace, even when things go wrong, because I'm believing and trusting in You. Thank You Lord that Your Holy Spirit is causing me to overflow with confident hope for the future by His great power regardless of my circumstances, and I give you all the glory and thanks for it even before I see it. In Jesus' Name Amen.
