Prayer

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

For surely I know the plans I have for you,
says the Lord, plans for your good and not for
harm, to give you a future with hope.
Then when you call upon me and come
and pray to me, I will hear you.
Jeremiah 29:11-12

In your presence there is fullness of joy.
Psalm 16:11
