“Father, help us to keep our trust upon You in the midst of all our afflictions that we face in our life.”

Trust in God, who trusts in you. St. Paul says that nothing can take us away from the love of Christ, not even suffering. ”Though God slay me, I will hope in Him” (Job 13 :15 ). The righteous Job even under utter despair of loss of material and own people laid his trust in God.

We are tuned to see only one side of the problems and sufferings we go through. But Job could see the better side in his pain and agony. When God fulfill our needs, we praise God otherwise sought our own way. Our faith and belief in God is not to be based on the material blessings we receive. It is not to be established and built upon benefits.

If God is allowing some problems in our life, believe that God has some purpose in it. He does everything with a purpose. But only a true Christian can understand the purpose and stand by it. Job trusted God unconditionally. You may be distressed because you don’t have a proper job, family problems, and financial crisis and lot others. Say boldly, I trust in the Lord. The things will turn in your favor.

Prayer for the day:

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for being by our side in every moment of our life. Thank You for holding our hands and carrying us at the time of distress. Forgive us for not trusting You when problems surrounded us, yet You cared for us. Help us to keep our trust upon You in the midst of all our afflictions that we face in our life. Father, Your love is so great. Please use us and refine us into a true Christian through my grief. Father, this is our prayer to You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
