GRATITUDE FOR SUPERABOUNDING HOPE

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him,

so that you may overflow^G4052 with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

I pray that God, the source of all hope, will infuse your lives with an abundance of joy and peace in the midst of your faith so that your hope will overflow through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13 (VOICE)

G4052 perisseúō, per-is-syoo’-o; from G4053; to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel:—(make, more) abound, (have, have more) abundance (be more) abundant, be the better, enough and to spare, exceed, excel, increase, be left, redound, remain (over and above).

Lord, may our gratitude well up and overflow

In proportion to the infusion of joy and peace we know

Because Your Holy Spirit fills us with Your power

And enables us to overcome trials each and every hour.

May the hope we have in You, more than overflow.

May it superabound exceedingly so that everyone may know

That we serve a risen Savior whose promises are true.

May our joy, peace, and abundant hope

lead others straight to You!
