Though this season of the year is filled with words like “hope, joy and peace,” it often feels far different. It might be more accurate for this month to expose unfulfilled longing, feelings of separation and pain. Our passage for the morning is a prayer that hope, joy and peace would not just be present in your life, but that you would be filled to overflowing. In preparation you might read Romans 15:1-13 and Isaiah 11:1-10. “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.”
