-- Romans 15:13
May the God of Hope fill you with all
Joy and Peace as
you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with Hope
by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
-- Psalms 25:1-5
1 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
3 No one whose Hope is in You will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
4 Show me Your Ways, O LORD, Teach me Your Paths;
5 Guide me in Your Truth and Teach me, for You are God my Savior,
and my Hope is in You all day long.
-- Psalms 31:24
Be of Good
Courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who Hope in the LORD.

"Follow Your Dream"
Before you look for things to change...
Look deep inside your soul.
The Lord has given you all the clues...
Always follow your dream.
Inviting trouble is so easy to do...
It happens without warning.
Avoiding problems is easier said than done...
Always follow your dream.
Sometimes things just turn out bad...
And you don't know where to turn.
The answer is as close as your heart...
Always follow your dream.
Hope has always been the key...
It's sometimes our only Hope.
When things are darkest and looking bleak...
Always follow your dream.
Only the Lord has all the Answers...
And He shares them with only a few.
But Faith is as close as we sometimes can get...
Always follow your dream.
Perhaps you feel the end is near...
And you've done everything you can.
Never give up, anything can happen...
If you always follow your dream.

"Tomorrow's A Brand New Day"
Sometimes it's hard to accept
The many disappointment in life we face
But we have to believe there's some reason
And hold onto the Lords Grace.
For what seems to be so unfair
And so difficult for us to understand
Is just a small piece of the puzzle
Of our life that God has planned.
And as each door will close
They say a window will open its eyes
And life will bring about changes
And with each new day - a surprise!
So believe in all of God's love
And know it surrounds you every day
With courage and strength you will make it thru
For tomorrow's a Brand New Day!!

-- 1 Peter 1:3-5
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In His great mercy He has given us New Birth into a Living Hope
through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 and into an Inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade --
kept in Heaven for you,
5 who through Faith are shielded by God’s Power until the coming
of the Salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
-- Romans 5:1-5
1 Therefore, since we have been
Justified through Faith,
we have Peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through Whom we have gained access by Faith into this Grace in
which we now stand. And we rejoice in the Hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, Hope.
5 And Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out
His Love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
-- Romans 12:12-21
12 Be joyful in Hope, Patient in affliction, Faithful in Prayer.
13 Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing
to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you,
Live at Peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath,
for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," (Deut. 32:35)
says the Lord.
20 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning
coals on his head." (Prov. 25:21-22)
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
-- Romans 8:24-28
24 For in this Hope we were saved. But Hope that is seen is
no Hope at all. Who Hopes for what he already has?
25 But if we Hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to Pray for, but the Spirit himself
intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,
because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with
God’s will.
28 And we know that in all things God works
for the Good of those who love Him,
who have been called according to His purpose.

-- Psalms 62:5-8
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my Hope comes from Him.
6 He alone is my Rock and my Salvation;
He is my Fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My Salvation and my Honor depend on God;
He is my mighty Rock, my Refuge.
8 Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our Refuge.
-- Psalms 71:5, 14
5 For You have been my Hope,
O Sovereign LORD, my Confidence since my youth.
14 But as for me, I will always have Hope;
I will praise You more and more.
-- Psalms 119:49, 74, 81, 114, 147
49 Remember Your Word to Your servant,
For You have given me Hope.
74 May those who fear You rejoice when they see me,
For I have put my Hope in Your Word.
81 My soul faints with longing for Your Salvation,
But I have put my Hope in Your Word.
114 You are my Refuge and my Shield;
I have put my Hope in Your Word.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for Help;
I have put my Hope in Your Word.
-- Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the Plans I have for you," declares the LORD,
"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
Plans to give you Hope and a Future.
12 Then you will Call upon Me and come and Pray to Me,
and I will Listen to you.
13 You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.
-- Lamentations 3:22-26
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for His compassions never fail.
23 They are New Every Morning; great is Your Faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."
25 The LORD is good to those whose Hope is in Him,
to the one who seeks Him;
26 It is good to wait quietly for the Salvation of the LORD.
