Hope received, not forced

Paul describes hope as something God can grow in us, even when we cannot manufacture it ourselves.

Paul closes a call to patient, welcoming community with a prayer that hope, joy, and peace would overflow.

Read it in full, with the verses on either side, on the [Romans 15:13 page](https://biblenudge.com/context/romans-15-13).

If this is not quite it

Say what is going on in your own words instead.

You do not have to decide which heading you belong under. Type a sentence about what happened and it will find the closest of the thirteen. If nothing sits close, it says so.

The [library](https://biblenudge.com/resources) lists all thirteen with a description of each, because situations get filed under words people would not always guess.

If what you are carrying is heavier than a page can hold, this is not the place for it. Nobody is reading what you type into this site.
