A Prayer for Hope and Renewal This Easter Season - By Ashley Moore
**From the Daily Prayers of crosswalk.com/devotionals
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” -Romans 15:13, ESV
“What comes to mind when you hear the word hope? For me, I often think about specific outcomes first.
I hope I get this opportunity.
I hope we get there on time.
I hope things work out for them.
While these statements emulate hope in one way, they are short-sighted for the hope Paul described in our key verse. Paul used the word hope here as a descriptor for God, the God of hope. A God who can fill you with joy, peace, and belief. A God who puts His Spirit inside of us, enabling us to believe and empowering us to hope. Not just once but to abound in a state of hopefulness. In other words, Paul is describing a hope that endures. It is not a fleeting feeling that we get when things go our way. To abound in hope is to be okay even when things don’t go our way.
