Bible Verse of the Day
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
—Romans 12:12
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
Sometimes the key to survival is simply “setting our jaw” and faithfully trusting that God is there helping us, despite the apparent and outward circumstances. Choosing joy through hope rather than despair, choosing patient endurance in times of affliction, and choosing faithfulness in prayer are all decisions of the will trusting that the God who raised Jesus from the dead can also change our circumstances because he hears our voice.
My Prayer…
Create in me, O Mighty God, a resolute and steadfast heart so that I might persevere with joy no matter what the difficulty. This I ask in the name of your faithful Son. Amen.
