Praying Pause – Inspiration and Fountain of Hope

Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!‭‭
—Romans‬ ‭15:13‬

‭~ Breathe in deeply… letting your breath invigorate you… breathe out slowly… letting go of all tension in your body…
~ Continue to breathe with gratitude for at least three blessings God graced you with last year…
~ You got through a difficult year… you grew stronger… breathe with a thankful heart…
~ Breathe quietly into the assurance that uncontainable joy and perfect peace are available to you… every moment you trust in God…
~ What are you hoping for in this new year to come?… Breathe and take time to feel into your hope… take time to let God know what you are hoping for…

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, the one who called you into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself restore, empower, strengthen, and establish you.
—1 Peter 5:10
