KNOWING CHRIST GIVES US HOPE JOY AND PEACE

Romans 15:13 Now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our hope does not come from our desires or wishes, but from God' who is Himself the people's confidence.  Joy is not like happiness; happiness is based upon happenings or whether things in our lives are going well or not.  Just as our peace comes from a combination of hope, trust, faith and,  reconciliation with God.  So, spiritual hope, joy, and peace stay with us even while suffering.  Our hope, joy, and peace are the anticipation and expectation of something great and marvelous; our hope, joy, and peace know Christ who lives in us.

We pray that today is a day of hope, joy, peace, happiness, and love for all believers.  Let the Holy Spirit overflow in us through our faith and develop our Fruit, Lord thank You for restoring love, harmony, and unity between our Father and us.  Father, thank You for, Your atoning grace and forgiveness that has reinstated us into Your Holy Family. Lord, teach us how to use Your power in the physical and the spiritual realm for those in need. Father, You said those who are wise should shine like the brightness of the firmament.  Lord, we ask that You allow this light to shine on our children, and our children's children give them hope, joy, and peace so that You may turn our children to righteousness.  Lord, there is destruction all around us, in our neighborhoods, communities, schools, churches, and world.  Lord, we ask You to intervene in our lives right now to restore peace and order to all people and the world.  Lord, help Your people gain an actual Spiritual birth through Christ, so the hope, joy, and peace that comes from knowing Christ fill us from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet, in Jesus' name, Amen.
