Peace and Joy in Believing

You, God of my hope, fill me with all joy and peace in believing, that I may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  That my life and my sharing  are not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit of power.  May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight Oh Lord my rock and my redeemer.  That my faith should rest not on the wisdom of men but on the power of You, God.  Help my work to be of faith, a labor of love, being steadfast in hope.  That I would only boast in You, Jesus and what You are accomplishing in me, by the power of the Holy Spirit.  It is through You, Holy Spirit that lives are changed.
