Scripture: “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
Reflection (Meditation):
Hope is not just about the past or present—it also looks to the future. Paul’s prayer in
Romans 15 encourages believers to trust in the God of hope, whose Spirit empowers us
to live joyfully and peacefully, even in uncertain times. This hope is not wishful thinking;
it’s a confident expectation rooted in God’s promises. As you trust in Him, hope
becomes a wellspring that overflows into every area of your life, influencing how you
face challenges and interact with others. During Advent, let this verse remind you that
God’s hope sustains and energizes us as we await the fulfillment of His promises.
Prayer:
God of Hope, thank You for filling us with joy and peace through the Holy Spirit.
Strengthen our trust in You so that we may overflow with hope in every circumstance.
Use us to bring this hope to others. Amen.
Call to Action:
Write down three ways God has been faithful to you this year. Share them with
someone who may need encouragement today.
