"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost" (Romans 15:13).

Hope is the anchor of the soul. Storms beset you. Friends let you down. The church fails you. Your spouse doesn’t understand you. Your boss expects too much from you. You begin to despair. But don’t lose hope. Your situation is not beyond the touch of Omnipotence.

Look expectantly to the God of hope. He created the universe from chaos. He works miracles. He has the perfect prescription for you.

Listen to the Lord’s health-giving advice: "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). He can ignite the flame of hope in your soul, and you will experience joy and peace in the midst of adversity. You can know stability in the midst of the storm.

Believe God today and let His joy and peace invade your soul. He will cause you to abound in hope instead of helplessness. Everything will be all right! The God of Hope guarantees it!

Let the God of hope fill your heart with joy;
Let His limitless peace flood your soul;
The Almighty One is your unfailing Friend;
His power can restore and make whole.

My God of Hope, I hope in You.
