Today’s Bible Verse:
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
Today’s Prayer:
Dear God,
during my tough times and when life gets hard, I come to You feeling small and humble. When problems feel like they’re burning all around me, help me remember that these hard times are normal in a life of faith. Let me find happiness even when things are difficult, knowing that going through hard times brings me closer to Jesus.
Please give me the power to keep going, the smarts to grow from this, and the faith to see past today’s problems to the amazing future You have planned.
Thank You for using these tough times to make my faith better and stronger, just like fire makes gold pure. I hope to come out of this with stronger faith in You, feeling happy about Your promise to show Your greatness.
Amen.
