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. — Romans 15:13 NIV

Heavenly Father, as we enter September, we center our hearts on you, our God of hope. In uncertainty, we hold to your promise in Romans 15:13. Fill us with your joy and peace as we trust you more. Quiet our worries and help us be aware of your steady presence. Move in us by your Spirit, so we overflow with hope and reflect your love.

As the seasons change, shift our hearts toward gratitude and trust. Renew what feels dry, lift our burdens, and draw us closer to you. May this month bring renewal, deeper faith, and lasting joy. In Jesus’s name, amen.
