God of Hope

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise (Philippians 4:8).

This same Good News . . . is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace (Colossians 1:6).

It is a good thing to . . . accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past (Ecclesiastes 5:19-20).

Common sense and success belong to me. Insight and strength are mine (Proverbs 8:14).

For the Lord your God is living among you.  . . . He will calm all your fears. (Zephaniah 3:17). 

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone (Galatians 6:10).

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless . . . (Philippians 1:9-10)

Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. . . . Pay attention and learn good judgment (Proverbs 2:2; 4:1).

Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone (1 Thessalonians 5:14). 

When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation (Proverbs 10:25).
