As we strive to live the gospel the Lord will fill us with joy and peace, and we may have hope. Romans 15:13
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
As members of the Church we know that as we live the Gospel we are blessed to have the Holy Ghost as our companion; and we learn from this scripture in Romans that as we have the Holy Ghost, we are filled with hope. I am always amazed by the idea of doing our part to follow the commandments, and being blessed by our Heavenly Father to not just have joy and peace, but to be filled with joy and peace, and that we may be abound in hope. We can't be perfect as we strive to keep the commandments, but the Lord will be perfect in blessing us as we do all we can; and He will be perfect in filling us with joy and peace and the Holy Ghost allowing us to abound in hope.

I really liked how you connected joy, peace, and hope together. Life is so much more enJOYable when we have joy! =)
I heard an interesting quote last week and unfortunately I can't remember who said it but they said that 2 Nephi 2:25 says "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." and he then put emphasis on the part that says we "might have joy" meaning we choose whether we have joy or not. I thought this was a very interesting idea. It is so true that we have the choice whether we will have joy or not in this life.
