May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.—Romans 15:13 (ESV)
God intended you to live a life filled with hope. If fear has taken control and stolen your optimism, release your worries to God. Open your heart and allow a strong, fresh current of hope to enter back into your life.
Heavenly Father, replace my despair with Your bright light that shines on all the good that You are doing in my life.

Ears that hear and eyes that see—the Lord has made them both.—Proverbs 20:12 (NIV)
