Thank God for Overflowing Hope
What u believe affect how u behave
For 11 chapters Paul has set forth
the doctrine of the Christian faith.
The balance of his letter moves
into the practical outworking of
that faith. For every assignment,
there is a enablement from God:
Serve one another using the gifts
God gave you; be subject to higher
authorities; be sensitive to needs
of weaker brothers; be united
in purpose & have mind of Christ.
Lord,fill us with Joy, Peace & Hope:
Therefore receive one another
just as Christ also received us…
Jesus Christ has become a servant
to the circumcision for the truth
of God, to confirm the promises
made to the fathers, and that the
Gentiles might glorify God for His
mercy… May the God of Hope fill
you with all joy and peace as you
trust Him so that u may Overflow
with Hope by the power of the
Holy Spirit (Rom 15:7-13). Amen.
Lord, it is difficult to be peaceful
when facing difficult situations.
I need and want to overflow with
confident hope; and I appropriate
Apostle Paul’s prayer as my own.
As I continue to believe in You
and trust You, fill me with Your
peace, keep me happy and let me
overflow with hope through the
power of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord, help me to resist the things
that will minimise my strength or
deplete my soul. Fill me instead
with Your hope, peace and joy,
so much so that they overflow
from me to others. I praise You
for who You are and thank You
that as I do, Your Spirit pours
new life into me. Fill me afresh
with Your Spirit this day and
take all hopelessness away. Amen
Lord, it’s a pretty grim world out
there, full of self-centred people
and news of gloom and doom.
And prolonged trials can also
cause us to doubt. Fill me to
overflowing with Hope as I turn
my heart to You. Fill me with hope
& restore me even as I trust in U.
Help me take my eyes off the
heavy problems as I hope in You
and wait upon You to act. Amen.
