Be Transformed in God
Father,grant me Your divine helping Grace, and endow me with patience and strength to endure my tribulations with complete submission to Your will.
Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God what is good and well pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:02)
Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, and persist in prayer. (Romans 12:12)
Suffering is a part of life that cannot be avoided; no matter if you’re rich or poor, black or white, young or old, atheist or Christian. Everyone faces suffering at different points in their life. Of course, there are differing degrees of suffering but the basic fact still remains, suffering is one other certainty in life. The more important question is how we will react to our sufferings.
So many times even, in our lives we fail to see the wonders God is about to do in our lives, because our eyes naturally fall on the negatives around us. We look at the huge wall of impossibility standing right before us and immediately get discouraged and lose all hope.
Our God is a God who created heavens and the earth and for whom nothing is impossible and every pain or trial or impossibility in our lives is a perfect opportunity for God to show His power. He has allowed difficulties in your life for a greater purpose, to show His power and glory. Would you believe Him against all odds and commit yourself to Him? Jesus loves you so much and He wants to make you more than a conqueror!
Prayer for the day:
Dear Heavenly Father, forgive me for limiting You in my life and depending on my own wisdom. I have difficulties and impossibilities around me, but today I choose to believe that there is nothing too hard for You and that You are mindful about me and every pain I go through. I commit my life totally in Your hands, please lead me and show Your power in my life and let my life bring glory to You. Turn my life to be a wonder. Father, grant me Your divine helping Grace, and endow me with patience and strength to endure my tribulations with complete submission to Your will. You know my misery and suffering and to You, my only hope and refuge, I flee for relief and comfort; trusting to Your infinite love and compassion, that in due time, when You know best, You will deliver me from this trouble, and turn my distress into comfort, when I shall rejoice in Your mercy, and exalt and praise Your Holy Name. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen
