Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
HOPE
How is it you
Open the door of my heart, closed by
Pain—grief a deadbolt lock denying
Entry?
How is it you
Order the chaos of my mind, thoughts
Pacing, pressing, anxiously demanding
Effort?
How is it you
Overwhelm me with unearned joy and
Peace—the winter sky clear—all of me
Embraced?
However it is you make hope abound in wounded and weary hearts, we pray you would continue, God of hope. We need the hope only you can give. Come, Lord Jesus, come. Amen.
