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.

He is my God of hope.  Full of hope.  Full.  And He will fill me with all joy and peace as I trust Him, with everything, so that I, too, can be full, even overflowing, with HOPE.  

How powerful is that?  If you can pray just one prayer today, may it be this one.  I remember days when I had no idea what to pray other than Lord, get me through this!  I know you feel like your prayers are hitting the ceiling.  They are not, trust me.  He hears every word and He is answering.  

Here is one way to pray this Scripture, if you would like.  Simply pray, read the words, whisper the words aloud, or read them to yourself. Let them rest in your heart.  

 Lord, my God of hope, please fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in You (learn to trust you; and help me to trust in You; etc.), so that I may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
