“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 This is my prayer for you. In order for this to work, you need to let go of bitterness, anger, selfishness, unforgiveness, etc. Think for a minute about what might be preventing you from being filled with joy. Ask God to help you let it go. Read the verse again, make it personal, and be blessed with joy and peace.
