Romans 15:13 is a short devotional about trusting GOD to fill us with joy and peace, leading to an overflowing hope powered by the HOLY SPIRIT, especially during difficult times, to help us trust Him more fully.
ROMANS 15:13
"Now may the GOD of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.”
This verse is a reminder that our hope is not a fleeting emotion but a deep-seated confidence that comes from GOD, even when life is hard.
It encourages us to trust in Him, allowing His SPIRIT to work within us, filling us with a joy and peace that enables us to "overflow" with hope that can be seen by others. This "abundant hope" is a strength for difficult times, helping us to face trials with faith rather than despair.
Prayer:
Gracious Heavenly FATHER, "may the GOD of hope" fill me with all Your joy and peace as I trust in You today. When I feel weak or full of doubt, please strengthen me with Your HOLY SPIRIT, so that I may overflow with hope. Help me to surrender my worries and live a life that points to the hope I have in You, both for myself and for those around me. In JESUS’ marvelous Name, Amen.
