-- 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.

-- 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.

"God Of Hope"

I just want to say thank You
For this life You've given me
For all the wondrous blessings
For setting my spirit free

You are such an awesome God
Who only gives the best
Giving us a life of Hope
When we face all kinds of tests

For often we face in life
Struggles of every kind
Little things can get us down
And peace is far from our minds

But You give Hope to carry on
No matter what we face
When we feel like giving up
Unable to finish the race

You step in just in time
With angels heaven sent
To encourage us to carry on
And to give us extra strength

So I praise You Lord for whom You are
And for all that I can be
For I’d never have a better life
Apart from Your life in me.

-- M.S.Lowndes.

-- John 14:1-2 + 1 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s House are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

-- John 15:5 + I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

-- 1 Corinthians 15:19 + If Christ is our Hope in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.

-- 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.

-- Titus 1:2 + (This truth is) a faith and knowledge resting on the Hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.

-- Psalms 65:5 + You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

-- Psalms 25:4-14
(A Prayer for defense, guidance, and pardon. As we trust
and Hope in God, He grants these same requests to us.)
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.
6 Remember, O LORD,
Your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to Your love remember me,
for You are good, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore He instructs sinners in the ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them His way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving
and faithful for those who keep the demands of His covenant.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who are they that fear the LORD?
He will teach them the way that they should choose.
13 They will abide in prosperity,
and their children will possess the land.
14 The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear Him,
and He makes His covenant known to them.
