How should I pray for people in this crisis? Start with Paul’s prayer for the Romans,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Go to the God of hope! As we pray, we are to drawn on his overflowing reservoir of hope. If we hope in God, joy and peace are possible. We can pray for people to be filled with the fruit of the Spirit like joy and peace as they trust in Jesus. We should pray that they would…

Trust God as the source of hope. Not the economy, not a job, not health, but God as the source of hope.

Rely of the Holy Spirit for joy and peace. Joy and peace don’t come from seeking joy and peace, they come from seeking God and letting Him fill you with those things! It’s only by God’s power that we can consistently experience peace and joy.

Where are you looking for peace and joy? Go to the God of hope!
