I want to use "it is…that" sentence pattern to express the same meaning as "I hope that..". The first thing to come to my mind is "it is my hope/wish that …", but that sounds quite weird.
So how am I supposed to alter "I hope that.." into the "it is..that.." pattern? What word should I choose? As far as I can imagine the candidates are "hope", "wish" and "expectation", but none of them seems to sound right.

"It is my hope" is not unusual. A quick search with Google gets over 7 million hits on that exact phrase.
The less personal "It is to be hoped" is also common.
