"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Ghost." - Romans 15:13 The verse talks about the joy and hope that comes from believing in God. God is the giver of hope when you find yourself in a hopeless situation. He offers words of life when we are in despair. He offers words of encouragement when we feel like giving up. Paul is emphasizing that it is important to have faith and trust in God. That by doing so, one will be filled with joy and peace. Also, we can receive hope through the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1).
