May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope”.  Romans 15:13 (AMPC)

We can hope against hope; hope that things work out; and then having done all, in the worry and the waiting, simply hang on and hope for the best! And yet, if you turn to the One Who is Hope, and hang on to Him instead, not only will your hope be renewed and restored, but an abundance of joy and peace will follow too!
 
Why beloved? Because hope in your majestic and miracle working God, Who is able and willing to work all things out for you, will never let you go, or ever let you down. He will never disappoint in bringing His best for you.
 
Believe in Him today, dearest one. Believe in His heart towards you and the good that He has planned. Let the power of the Holy Spirit flow through you and faith arise for all that is to come. Then let hope lead the parade and faith in Him be your celebration song!
 
He is the God of ALL hope—with His uncontainable joy bubbling over and abounding towards you even now!

Prayer:
 
Precious Holy Spirit, in all the places where I have lost hope, would you come and fan the flames again, so I can see as you see—the end from the beginning and I can believe?
 
In the places where I feel empty—of help and of hope—would you fill me afresh with Your joy and perfect peace, causing me to abound and yes, even bubble over, with the good news of Who You are, and an unbreakable hope in all that You will do!
 
There is no one like You Lord, in all the world—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, my eternal, unending, Hope. I place my trust in You!
