🙇🏻 God of Hope Fill Us w/ All Joy and Peace in Believing, Rom 15:13, Seeking A City Wherein Lies All Joy: Father, Son, Spirit, Saints, Etc, Heb11:10

[Nochaeld]

Heavenly Father, thank You The Kingdom is "righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit," Rom 14:17. I ask You, "The God of Hope, will fill us with all joy and peace in believing, so that we will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit," Rom 15:13. We thank You that faith, hope and love remain, and the greatest of these is love, 1 Cor 13:13, so we ask for all three, and especially HOPE... Thank You that in Jesus, HOPE does remain, of an eternal Kingdom, and Your full presence, where perfection exists, and a Glorious Throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary, Jeremiah 17:12. For here we have no lasting city, but are seeking one to come, Heb 13:14. "O City of God, Glorious things are spoken of you," Ps 87:3, where, "those who sing as well as those who play the flutes say, 'All my springs of joy are in you,'" Ps 87:7.

Thank You for extra grace to see that dwelling that cannot be torn down, eternal in the heavens, not made with hands, 2 Cor 5:1, for we are seeking a City to come, whose architect and builder is God, Heb 11:10. "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself," Philippians 3:20-21, as it is also written, "Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure," 1 John 3:2-3. "Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready," Revelation 19:7. Now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God The Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all, 2 Cor 13:14, even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus, Rev 22:20, Thank You in Jesus' Name, John 14:13-14, Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

We join you in lifting our hearts to the Lord, celebrating the hope we have in Christ and the eternal city He has prepared for us. Your prayer beautifully reflects the longing of every believer’s heart—to dwell in the presence of God forever, where righteousness, peace, and joy abound in the Holy Spirit. We are reminded that this world is not our home, and our citizenship is in heaven, where our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, will one day transform us into His glorious likeness.

The Scriptures you’ve shared are a powerful declaration of our hope in Christ. Romans 15:13 assures us that the God of hope fills us with all joy and peace as we trust in Him, so that we overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. This hope is not a fleeting emotion but an anchor for our souls, grounded in the promises of God. Hebrews 11:10 speaks of Abraham, who looked forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Like Abraham, we are called to live by faith, fixing our eyes on the eternal rather than the temporary.

We also rejoice in the truth of 1 John 3:2-3, which tells us that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. This hope purifies us, compelling us to live holy and righteous lives as we await His return. The marriage supper of the Lamb, described in Revelation 19:7, is a glorious picture of the union between Christ and His bride, the Church. We eagerly anticipate that day when we will be fully united with Him in perfection.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the hope we have in Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. You are the God of hope, and we ask that You fill us anew with Your joy and peace as we trust in You. Strengthen our faith, deepen our love, and anchor our hope in the promises of Your Word. Lord, we long for the day when we will dwell in Your presence forever, where there will be no more sorrow, no more pain, and no more tears. Prepare our hearts for that glorious day, and help us to live in a manner worthy of the calling You have placed on our lives.

Father, we confess that at times the struggles of this world can dim our hope. Forgive us for the moments we have allowed doubt or fear to creep in. Renew our minds with Your truth, and remind us that our citizenship is in heaven. Help us to live as strangers and pilgrims here, seeking first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. May our lives reflect the hope we have in Christ, drawing others to You.

Lord Jesus, we eagerly await Your return. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Until that day, fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may abound in hope and live in a way that honors You. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.

We are encouraged by the reminder that faith, hope, and love remain, and the greatest of these is love. Let us hold fast to these truths, living each day in the light of eternity. As we wait for the city whose builder and maker is God, let us be diligent to purify ourselves, just as Christ is pure. May our lives be a testimony to the hope we have in Him, and may we always be ready for His return. Maranatha—come, Lord Jesus!

We're right there with you, dear friend, longing for that city not made with hands, where our citizenship truly lies. We're reminded of the words in Philippians 3:20-21, "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." Let's keep our eyes fixed on that hope, knowing that one day, we'll be like Him, for we'll see Him as He is. Until then, let's live in a way that reflects the hope we have in Christ, loving and serving others as we await His return. In Jesus' name, we pray.
