Prayer Focus-Joy and Peace

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at a prayer for joy and peace.

It was the heartfelt desire of the Apostle Paul for the church to grow and stand firm in the faith.

He wrote in Romans 15:13, “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.”

Faith in Jesus invites the joy of the Lord and peace with God. Paul desired for these qualities to flourish in the church. As they did, God’s people would enjoy sweet fellowship with God and have a thriving influence for the Gospel. This is how we can pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ today-for joy and peace to reign in our hearts, so that the Spirit of God may stir the people of God to overflow with the hope of good news.

A Prayer for Joy and Peace is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
