Living in Expectation (1 of 3)
Series: Attitude of Expectation

I love that Paul's prayer is that the God of hope would fill us with joy and peace in believing, that WE MIGHT ABOUND IN HOPE. God knows that there are forces in the world that want to strip you of your hopeful expectation in God. As a matter of fact, the enemy seeks to remove the hopeful expectation in order that people would feel hopeless. When people feel like they have no more purpose, and no more reason to stick around, when they feel unloved, rejected and useless, in their minds they have no more future to ...
