Hope can reduce stress and anxiety and increase resilience. Hope can provide comfort and motivation in difficult times. Hope may even boost circulation and respiration! Hope is what allows us to lay hold of the promises God’s given us and anticipate their fulfillment. One evidence of being filled with the Spirit is how much hope we enjoy.

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

PRAY: Invite our God of hope to fill you with all joy and peace. Tell Him what you believe. Thank Him for the hope that overflows by the power of the Holy Spirit alive in you.
