Hope for the Journey Ahead

“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.”

Romans 15:13 (NKJV)

After a week of learning to trust, surrender, and obey, we arrive at a beautiful promise: hope. Not wishful thinking, not vague optimism—biblical hope. Hope rooted in the character of God. Hope that grows as we trust Him, surrender to Him, and walk in obedience with Him.

Hope is the quiet confidence that God is working even when we cannot see it. It’s the assurance that His plans are good, His timing is perfect, and His presence is constant. Hope doesn’t remove challenges, but it reframes them. It reminds us that God is writing a story bigger than our current chapter.

As you close this week, let hope rise in you. Let it steady your heart, lift your perspective, and renew your strength. The God who walked with you this week will walk with you into every tomorrow.

PRAYER:

Gracious God of hope, fill my heart with Your joy and peace. Strengthen my trust and renew my confidence in Your promises. Help me walk into the days ahead with hope that is anchored in You. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
