Good Wednesday morning, my friends.
Adversity usually comes without warning. You may not be experiencing it right now, but you have. You could be by the end of the day. It is how we choose to deal with this adversity that reveals our character. And god will use the adversity to shape our character. When we are not in control of our own circumstances (and realize that we never truly are), then we tend to look for God's plan in our lives and trust in Him more.
If you are in the midst of adversity today, call out with this prayer. If not, prepare your heart with it.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Father, You grow and stretch our maturity through circumstances that often are not of our own choosing.
It helps us to gain needed perspective and experience in situations that overall benefit us, perhaps in areas we otherwise neglect.
Help us to be patient as we search Your Scriptures and prayerfully seek to understand Your plan as it unfolds in our lives.
Align our desires with Your own as we submit our will to Yours.
May we not be overcome by adversity but we ask You, Father, to use adversity as a tool by which You carve Your image deep into our hearts.
We may make our plans but we realize that, as Your child, You will have the final say.
Amen.
