Respite For the Weary
And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
I Peter 5:10
Dear God of Grace,
(I ask that) WHEN the inevitable trials of suffering and loss are experienced by each of my children in their lifetime, THEY WOULD CLING TO YOU. Through their various struggles, make them STRONGER in their faith on this earth, while keeping ETERNITY in their heart and mind.
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have. Philippians 1:29-30
Dear Lord,
We tend to be great with words such as "faith" and "blessing," but we don't want to come near words like "suffer" and "struggle." Help us to embrace all that you have for us, in the highs and the lows. Give us your strength when it's hard, and give us your meekness when things are good. May we bear your light in all circumstances. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
