Bible Verse
“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
Meaning
Romans 15:13 reveals the apostle Paul’s prayer for the Romans – and by extension, for all of us. He calls upon the “God of hope” imploring that He might fill us “with all joy and peace” as we trust him. What a profound message! In this plea, Paul not only recognizes God as the source of hope but also identifies trust in God as a critical pathway to receive His fullness of joy and peace.
Paul’s prayer doesn’t stop there. He continues by expressing his desire for believers to “overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” The depth of this appeal indicates that Paul seeks for us to harbor such a bountiful measure of hope that it overflows, touching those around us. Importantly, this overflow is not by our strength, but “by the power of the Holy Spirit.” This vital reminder points us to rely on divine power in cultivating a hopeful and joy-filled life.
Actions to Take
1. Identify a specific area in your life where you need more hope and pray specifically about it.

3. Share the hope you have because of Christ with someone around you – it could be a friend, colleague or family member.
4. Invite the Holy Spirit into your daily decision-making process.
