Sheer Endurance

 

Do not fear

  what you are about

  to suffer.

              Revelation 2. 10

(Everyone struggles

                  with something.

But as believers,

   we can face the hard stuff

   not imperviously,

            but responsive.

Stand firm,

hold tight to Jesus's hand,

endure,

even be strengthened by it.

Let God redeem the hardship

          for greater good.

God does not promise

  that life will be easy

  in this broken world,

but "Do not be afraid.

        I am with you."

Practice His Presence,

    scoot closer to Him

    on the every days,

that we will know Him

   in the extraordinary.)

O LORD,

Thank You, dear Father,

that You are with us

   through thick and thin.

We can know You,

   Your Presence,

   Your protection,

   Your provision,

even in unexpected ways,

    unlikely places,

and in the hard stuff.

Help us with Your strength

    to respond differently

in Your name,

for Your Kingdom,

and for Your glory,

             even in this.
